Not rare but certainly not a common wader in the UK.

It was lovely to see this bird in the margins of a small scrape at Brandon Marsh last Sunday.

 This Green Sandpiper was having a really good '' wash and brush up ''  and giving excellent views of its tail, a major identification feature for me with Sandpipers.

 Rear views are however rather limiting so I decided to post this image that also highlights its beak and eye stripe.

 Graham did a video of the visit as usual, link below.

 Very nice.

    I love the Green Sandpiper call, sadly for me always a bit flighty and far away when I catch up with them in Northants. Great shot John
