Pectoral & Broad-billed Sandpipers
Another visit to the superb Frampton Marsh RSPB reserve. I had gone to see the Pectoral Sandpiper that had been found there yesterday. I managed to see this early morning and whilst I was there a Broad-billed Sandpiper was found. Although only the third Broad-billed Sandpiper I have ever seen it was the second I have seen at this reserve this year!

Caspian Tern
18/6/2016 After an unsuccessful trip to Titchwell RSPB early morning for the Great Knot I decided to go to Gibraltar Point NNR where there had been 2 Caspian Tern recently. Only one was seen whilst I was there but it was at least showing well.
King Eider & Gull-billed Tern
Stopped off for these birds on the way back from Shetland on 5/6/2016. The King Eider was on the Ythan Estuary just north of Aberdeen and the Gull-billed Tern was at Kenneil Lagoon somewhere near Edinburgh.
