A very early start to arrive at a field on the Gloucestershire/Oxfordshire border before dawn following a friend who knew the site well. He was able to quickly locate the bird using an infra red scope and I was lucky enough to record it together with Corn Bunting, Whinchat, Yellow Hammer and more.

One of the best times of the year to spot Wood Sandpipers and Slimbridge is one of the best places to see them. Green Sandpipers are more numerous and it’s almost guaranteed to see them here.
