TEREK SANDPIPER in Lincolnshire
















Hot on the heels of what was presumably an early returning bird from Scandinavia at Saltholme Pools RSPB (Cleveland) yesterday and early this morning, what may have been the same bird appeared at Gibraltar Point NR (Lincolnshire) this afternoon.
Graham Catley was quick on the scene and obtained this superb sequence of images published above, the bird showing well on Tennyson's Sands scrape until dusk.
