#Sandpipers
Digiscoped image of the two White-rumped Sandpipers on Anglesey. Not my best image but the best birds.

Lovely plumage of the Purple Sandpipers

My personal favorite #BestOfOctober is this shot of a group of Pectoral sandpipers landing in a farmers field. A lifer for me. They are momentary visitors as they migrate from the northern parts of Canada down into South America.

I actually heard the Roy Budd version from the brilliant The Sound Spectrum compilation before I managed to track the original down. The whole soundtrack is superb.

There's also a great vocal version by The Sandpipers.

Had a brief trip to Portland, this pm. Saw the Snow Bunting, plenty of Rock Pipits, 4 Purple Sandpipers, 5 Turnstones, Stonechats in the Bill area. No Redstart at Reap Lane. And no Ring Ouzel at the Verne on the cotoneaster, although there was a single Redwing & a few Blackbirds. #UKBirding

Two Great Blue Heron today, and a passing few Least Sandpipers for #BirdoftheDay #HeadsUp. Not sure if looking up at the sky was some ritual or just gives all round visibility. #Birds #eck 🪶

A pleasant morning at WWT Llanelli with good views of Garganey, Wood and Green sandpipers from Boardwalk hide.

No waxwings but a couple of nice male Eiders, plenty of gannets and the purple sandpipers are back 👍 #NessPoint

A week in Cornwall was slightly hard work. AGP on the Hayle that never settled was the best find though my description may not pass muster with the Cornish rare brigade. Fortunately it was snapped by a good Cornish birder.

Baird’s & Buff-breasted Sandpipers were notable on the way down…

Wood and Green sandpipers from the Boardwalk hide at Penclacwydd this morning. Such a shame that the centre will be closed during the week throughout the Winter £60 a year and only able to visit on weekends bloody disgraceful @wwtworldwide.bsky.social

You may not know that John Denver wrote these songs for other famous musicians, such as Frank Sinatra, the Sandpipers, and Peter, Paul & Mary.

A couple of sanderlings fighting over a single mole crab, even though there were plenty to go around. Seriously, birds were catching them left and right. #birds #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #wildlife #nature #photography #animals #beach
