Yet another after work hop just over the border to the now very familiar territory of Eyebrook Reservoir. A text from Phil Rogers had alerted me to the presence of a juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper at the inflow and a quick call to Shozzer meant that we were soon on our way to seeing the latest of what has been a string of goodies here.

| Juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper |
The bird was obligingly showing when we arrived and stayed in view for the duration of our stay. Sadly it remained rather distant as it fed out on a still growing expanse of mud in the company of two Ruff and my pictures are correspondingly rubbish. We did not linger for too long and spent as much time gassing with other birders as we did watching the bird. I've got a weekend's wildlife watching in Norfolk coming up so it may be a little while yet before I get out in Northants again. Now I wonder what the next Eyebrook goody is going to be.....
