Spoon-billed Sandpiper
Spoon-billed Sandpiper

There was a single Spoon-billed Sandpiper among a large roosting flock of shorebirds. I had to scan for ages with binoculars before finally finding it. ^^ When I checked at home later, I found that this Spoon-billed Sandpiper had been first recorded three days earlier on September 12th. Good timing. ^^

It was very distant, so heavy cropping. ^^ ;
