Looking back through the 'hard copy' diaries I kept for thirty-odd years, I found that the first Buff-breasted Sandpiper I'd seen was at Cley, back in 1986: last week's Minsmere bird was, therefore, nearly forty years later! I can't bring to mind a species that took so long to repeat: the closest possible future challengers I can think of would be Naumann's Thrush (1990) and Nutcracker (1991)
