RSPB Blacktoft Sands

 









We often visit Blacktoft as we live quite close and today was one of the days we were glad we went. The pectoral sandpiper was showing from Marshland Hide but afraid not close and kept hiding among the other birds and debris on the island. A couple of Green Sandpipers and Greenshank were close though. It was lovely to catch up with Pete and Masha, she had found the pec the previous day ! Then onto Townend Hide where a spotted crake had been reported. Excellent views of it, but photography was near impossible as it dashed in and out the reeds. But see them we did, an excellent afternoon !
