Hi Phil, Come up to the Lakes, both Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite hold reasonable numbers, even found a few nests near both lakes, I use to live at Derwent Bay right on the shore, and they use to nest in the banks of Bilberry above the shore, and yards from the back door. All the best, Gordon.
Hello, pretty shots of the Sandpiper! Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen, it was a bit warmer that day, we are going through a cold spell at the moment, with occational snow flurries.
ReplyDeleteTake care Gordon.
A lovely bird! With their coloration it looks like they might be hard to spot among those rocks.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day!
Thank you for looking in, and you are right in certain lighting conditions they blend in.
DeleteTake care, Gordon.
The Sandpiper is a very pretty bird. Great shot! Have a beautiful day!

Nice work Gordon. Its strange but I can't get close to Common Sands in the UK. It's only when I go abroad that I can get them.
