Terek Sandpiper so near yet

if I hadn't turned round to try and photograph the Cuckoo I would not have been 200m away when ND found this Terek Sandpiper, first for Alkborough and only the 5th county record and the first since 2014 but that's birding -- always nervous the small group of waders flew off a couple of times and returned before finally departing north towards the Humber at 07:54 -- always distant the closest encounter was when they left and flew straight over our heads
