Rutland Baird's Sandpiper




This tiny wader has been at Rutland Water for the past week at least so I paid it a visit over the weekend. I think it's the closest I have ever been to a wader, with it approaching me to under two metres. It was worth laying in goose droppings, rotting zebra mussels and smelly mud for hours on end!

More to follow.
