On Tuesday morning our ellusive white rumped sandpiper put in an appearence very briefy on the pools in front of the visitor centre before vanishing yet again. We have now seen it on three dates, starting a week ago, the majority of sightings have been in flight over the Savoch Low Ground. Yesterday I even managed to see it land but when I got out to the hide it was nowhere to be seen.
Today there was no sign at all of it on the low ground or anywhere else for that matter although two ruff were showing very nicely in amongst the golden plover flock.
