Early afternoon was spent at Cresswell - reports of a long-billed dowitcher were suffice to make up for the miscalculated weekend. Friday night was a late one, so Saturday morning on Holy Island was abandoned, while Sunday morning reports from Phil revealed that the arctic warbler was no more. Saved some petrol I guess...
The dowitcher was readily available from the hide, roosting with snipe. It didn't do much... until the seemingly resident great skua decided to pop over for a visit. Up and off...
Forgive the picture quality - I'm test driving some new image processing software.
