Back in August I was tempted out to Seaton Wetlands to see a Marsh Sandpiper, a bird which was always on my most wanted list when I was a more active birder back in the day. I did see it, but it remained either very distant or hidden for most of the time I was there. It did venture a bit closer once but was horribly backlit in the early morning sun, so my photos aren't really that bad if you squint a bit! I think I was hoping for a bit too much to be as lucky as I was for the Black-winged Stilts earlier in the year. Unfortunately this trip was to be my last outing of the year as I crashed my car on the way home and it was written off, so I've been off the road ever since. I'll be back...I hope.
Anyway here are the photos, just don't zoom in!
