Greater Sand Plover at snettisham

just a few pics of the sand plover taken late today (04/07/04)
if this bird stays it is well worth the trip but try to go at high tide or it may be distant

To the uninitiated: this is what is known in the trade as a "grip off" And I'm just admitting that I'm dead jealous. You lucky b****r, Rimmer!

3rd for Norfolk!

had a rest for this one and went shopping!

Nice bird - don't think I'll be going for it though, as I got the Dunbar bird (also a very smart summer plumage one)

Nice pics Rimmer, it really is a belter. I kind of thought the tides would affect viewing, but at low tide this morning it was within touching distance.
