Bird was half hidden on far side of an island half way between the visitor centre and the path to 360/Reedbed Hides. (Lower body was below the lip of the island) The consensus when I left was that this was indeed a Baird's Sandpiper but the the debate was whether or not this bird was in addition to the white-rumped or whether that bird had been misidentified The Baird's was stubborn in moving from its hiding place (mid-afternoon) making a detailed description difficult. Hopefully that will be forthcoming |
