Another trip up to Dorset again with my mate Andy to look for a Baird`s Sandpiper at Lynch Cove on the Fleet . We arrived to find some birders there but they told us that there was no sign of the bird since early in the morning when it had flown off , so we waited in hope that it would return and in the meantime we could check out the other birds that were on show , with 10 Dunlin , 2 Bar-Tailed Godwit , a Pied Avocet , 40+ Mediterranean Gull and a Grey Wagail . We had been waiting for about an hour and a half when the Baird`s Sandpiper flew in and joined the Dunlin and we were able to get good views of the bird .
We then went to Abbotsbury and went into the Swannery to look for the reported Spotted Sandpiper and once again we got good views of the bird making it my 8th American bird since the Yellow Warbler that was seen on the 21st of August .
