buff-breasted sandpiper

Bécasseau rousset - Tryngites subruficollis - Buff-breasted Sandpiper

Ave de 18-20 cm, originaria de América del norte

Another first for me this weekend very pleased thats 3 in 3 weeks

This juvenile bird was feeding along the edge of the runaway at Davidstow Airfield, Cornwall. I watched the birds movements for about an hour, I then parked my car about 50 yards ahead of the bird, and waited for it to walk to me!

I consider this to be one of the most beautiful shorebirds that can be seen here. They are rare as we are way east of their main migration route. These were just my second and third birds, feeding together.

Some what unique in its habitat choosing. While most of the other sandpipers are running around boggy areas and ponds. These are one of the few that prefer the dry tundra ridges with more grass.

Well the UAE recorded a new species today - First ever record of a Buff-Breasted Sandpiper and a lifer for me :-)

Another American bird that I saw in Shetland there were a incredible Three birds at Eshaness a more Windswept place I have never visited, A Anchor would have been handy to stop my Tripod blowing over, But worth it what a Bonny Wee Wader.

This is one of four BUSP's we found at the town beach on September 7, 2010. The birds foraged, preened and slept 5 metres from where I waded off shore, taking pictures. More usually, Ontario birders see this species from a distance through scopes on upland sod farms during migration. I don't...

Another shot from yesterday of this lifer for me.

Got a call yesterday afternoon about this bird, after a 15 minute drive I was at the site - cracking little bird although quite flighty and difficult to get near to.

not real common around here

this is a massive crop as eth bird was a fair way off... very pleased to see it though, my sixth lifer of the year.
