Dotterel at Buckenham RSPB

I was just about to post a couple of parcels when the pager informed me that a Dotterel had been found on flooded grazing marsh at Buckenham. I hastily threw on some birding gear and rushed off, arriving at the same time as Dot M and Steve S.

A smallish crowd had assembled, who generously called out directions: the bird was in amongst a distant flock of Golden Plovers. Luckily the light was quite good, so I managed a couple of 'record shots' (Yes: genuine record shots!) After a chat with Dot, Steve, Dave Holman and his wife, I left to post my parcels!
