Little Stint

I have travelled back and forth to Seafield in Quilty over the past week in search of the Baird's Sandpiper found there a week ago or so, and also to seek out the summer plumaged Banaparte's Gull found last Monday morning.  I have obviously not seen either of the two birds, but managed to shoot off a set of photos of Little Stints, Dunlin and Curlew Sandpipers.

Little Stint

I was back in Wexford late yesterday evening and again this morning.  Got the Caspian Tern yesterday evening and clocked up the two Citrine Wagtails, Lesser Yellowlegs, two Buff-breasted Sandpipers, one Green Sandpiper, two Curlew Sandpipers and five Little Stints earlier today.  Another magical visit to Tacers.
