Normally you’d have to place a stick of dynamite under me to get me to leave a perched Golden Eagle but yesterday this rare Upland Sandpiper enticed me to do just that.
I’ve said it many times, I’m a bird photographer not a traditional birder. But an incident earlier this year gave me a taste of the excitement birders must feel when they observe a rare species and have that sighting accepted by the birding community.
