19/9/94 Eyebrook Reservoir

Baird’s Sandpiper 1 juv.

Baird's Sandpiper at Eyebrook Reservoir (J. Wright)
A day twitching a Siberian Thrush in Norfolk and a Yellow-breasted Bunting at Filey with RJF seemed a far more attractive option than a day spent at work but with no sign of the Zoothera in Norfolk and with negative news then received from Yorkshire we somehow ended up at Eyebrook in Leicestershire where it poured with rain and we only obtained distant views of this Baird's Sandpiper. Whilst in Norfolk, RJF trying to eat jelly with his fingers having forgotten a spoon gave us all, not least RJF, a few laughs so at least lifted our mood!
