Common Sandpiper

It is always worth while checking the pools on Bardolf Farm particularly after any period of rain! I set out for an afternoon jaunt and a new arrival in the form of a Common Sandpiper had dropped in on a pool at Puddletown Water Meadows. This species is not seen annually on the Farm.

Green Sandpiper

There was also a couple of Green Sandpiper present on the same pool. Both species were in close proximity to each other at one point giving good comparative views of both species.
