Broad billed sandpiper at Frampton.

I headed to Frampton for a walk and upon arrival I could see quite a few people up on the sea wall, I headed there as something was drawing attention.
Turns out a Broad billed sandpiper was mixed in with the large ring plover and dunlin flock.

It never really came close, well for photos anyway but was superb via a scope.



Being quite new to birding I would have most likely overlooked this with out a scope, its something I must invest in soon.

Amongst the flock were also a Temmincks stint, Little stint and curlew sandpipers giving me 4 ticks for the year and 2 lifers making it a worth while trip.
