Common Sandpiper (Actitis hypoleucos)

AAP

Not all my digiscoped pictures are as dull as these last three, but I'm glad to have them all for different reasons.

This was taken on the last day of the Strathspey Bash, after the group had broken up and I spent the afternoon with Ken and Evelyn (both of whom died last year).

This picture was taken at a loch with an unpronouncable name somewhere near Aviemore.

Another bird I've yet to see, no matter how "common" it supposedly is. So ... hmmm ... should I have digiscope equipment on my holiday wish list, or not?

A lovely scene, beautifully composed. Feels like I'm sitting on one of those rocks just taking it all in. Very, very nice!
