Lots of Sanderling feeding on floating seaweed at high tide. It took me an age to get this flight shot of one flittering from one spot to another.

has seen Snow Bunting Broadstairs, England, United Kingdom

Somehow despite its rarity I have more photos of Spoon-billed Sandpiper than I do of Common Sandpiper!!!!!
