American golden plover (Pluvialis dominica) Tealham Moor, Somerset,. a very attractive bird
It was still there and showing well this afternoon. A lovely bird, and a cracking find, Tim! A couple of yellow wagtails around too.
And many thanks to Jeff and Kay for calling in at my house to alert me of another rarity just 3 miles away! Great view of a second GB lifer in 2 days! We are so lucky to see so many different birds around the Westhay area. And such expertise to find and report them of course. Well done Tim.
Yes, a great find Tim on your local patch, so many thanks from me for getting the news out quickly!!

Thought so Tim - well done - brilliant find!
It was me. Thanks for putting a message on this forum. I had to dash off twice! I imagine some of the photos will be stunning. Should help with the description for the Records Committee!
