With the chance of a world lifer in the form of a 1st winter Solitary Sandpiper in Devon the lure soon became to much,It had been present for a few days at Black Hole Marsh,Seaton & i just happened to have the day free,a quick call to an old friend (John Liggins) & all was organised for a 5:30am start a good journey down & we were soon watching this smart wader (35th record for Britain & Ireland) & not a nappy tick as Mr perrins put it!! the light was poor & wasn't expected to get any better so photos not the best,a celebratory breakfast American style at the Route66 diner & we headed for home (Other birds on site a juv Curlew Sandpiper several Dunlin,1 Little Egret & a few late Swallow)
