Buff-breasted Sandpiper

Davidstow Airfield, Cornwall 
I gave in to temptation today to see one of my absolute favourite wader species, Buff-breasted Sandpiper. I get frustrated with this site, why? Well, the fact that it has been made full public knowledge not to drive on the runways as (apparently) its a working airfield. Despite my playing by the rules and walking a fair distance to the abandoned control tower most others drove there. Perhaps I should be a bad boy too? Anyway, the walk was worth it as the bird showed beautifully. Unfortunately and frustratingly, I was only on binoculars so no photo this time.
