Short-billed Dowithcher at Rosehearty (Alan Tate  http://www.aabirdpix.com/ )
Having driven all night to reach Rosehearty at dawn the Dowitcher was on view from first light so we then drove back in daylight even arriving home in time to put in a brief appearance at work completely wrecked after the 1,300 mile drive!
