Spotted Sandpiper in Hampshire


28 Nov - rather boggy conditions along the River Test in Hampshire where I had good but brief views of a rather flighty 1st-winter Spotted Sandpiper - slightly shorter-tailed than Common, with a more 2-toned bill. My 2nd for Hants, after the previous bird at Titchfield in 1986. A Peregrine flew over whilst on site. Photo, copyright Three Amigos birding.
