Thu-22-Oct-2009 - baird's sandpiper (Calidris bairdii)

At last, Had a call from Alan after work to say he had found the baird's sandpiper that have been around for a few weeks but I had not seen. there were also three speckled teal and two snipe around the pond.

There have been a few house sparrows in our garden as lawn just been mowed and they seem to like it, hard little things to get photograph of. Also a pair of black-chinned siskins visite us from time to time.Have put up a bird table (week ago) but as yet not one bird been on it.
