Pectoral Sandpiper, Toft Reservoir 18/09/2012

With news of a Pectoral sandpiper showing well confirmed by Dean this morning. I drove off to Toft Newton Reservoir, I have never been before but it was quite easy to find thankfully. On arrival I could see Dean on the other side of the reservoir, Walking round to him it rained, Hard! So after drying off and a coffee (Thanks Dean) we headed bac to the Pec Sand. The bird showed fantastically! came within half a metre of me. The best bird I have photographed and it came with a Dunlin aswell ! An awesome day topped off by a sparrowhawk and the Fudge duck at Far Ings. Going back tomorrow for more!
