Purple Sandpiper

The morning seawatch produced close views of 2 Great Skuas (P.162, H.115) together inside the yellow buoy of the sewage, which was more than pleasing. Just before lunch news broke of a Purple Sandpiper (P.163, S.121) on Easington Lagoons. After missing a/the bird around the Crown and Anchor on a couple of occasions I was determined to try to connect on this occasion. The walk down through the "Good morning Vietnam" grass was a tester but eventually worthwhile, as it turned out to be third time lucky...

Thought I'd post a few from the past week while the computer was poorly...
