Apparently still there late evening, which is encouraging. It was a bit skittish when I first saw it about 2.15, but it seemed to like the environs of Cheddar Tower, and kept returning to the same place.
Showing fairly well though distant near Cheddar Tower at 5pm Thursday- good luck tomorrow Jeff!

Per BirdGuides: an adult Spotted Sandpiper at Cheddar Reservoir, by the Cheddar Tower early afternoon. Don’t know who the finder is but good-on-them. Hope it stays for tomorrow!
