16th & 18th May 2017

News broke of a Summer plumage Spotted Sandpiper at Belvide Reservoir,Staffs on the morning of the 15th but was on nights so managed an early rise on the Tues & Thurs where good views were had of this stunning looking bird unfortunately my photos just don't do it justice with tiredness,light etc being a problem + either my camera or lens playing up whatever it only looks like it's gonna be expensive..................
