Knowing this bird was on the airfield has been driving me mad all day as I'd agreed to work today and I couldn't guarantee that it would stay around until Sunday so as soon as I finished work we drove straight up to Davidstow where we met Will who had just been videoing it and he put me right on the bird.
Just as well really 'cos it was in a totally different part of the field to where most of the waders had been pitching.
See Will's video of the Dowitcher at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTvRamg_Hls
and the Snow buntings at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCAM8Rzmqt0
It was typical Davidstow weather with thick mist and drizzle interspersed with dull light. I managed a few pics and was amazed to see how it fed, like a woodpecker with a long beak, striking hard at the ground in short bursts.
To round off the visit there were 2 snow buntings along the runway which I grabbed shots of in the increasing rain and decreasing light.
Roll on tomorrow!
