More than pleased to re-find the Broad-billed Sandpiper striking a pose with Dunlin at Grutness Pool this afternoon. Certainly the best views I’ve had of this stunning little wader so far! @OMSYSTEMcameras @RareBirdAlertUK @BirdGuides @nature_scot @NatureInShet

Thank you very much! And special thank you to the amazing @peterdench for collecting!
