Exmouth


5+ purple sandpiper on Maer Rocks this evening. Torrential rain and rapidly fading light meant the above photo was the best I could manage. This is the first time I've seen purple sandpipers in the Exmouth area but I think they occurred more regularly a few years ago. Apparently the last ones Terry Smith saw were 20 years ago!
