I will be posting all my Grafham reports here from now. For all old Grafham Water posts and links to my Flickr site go to the Cambridgeshire Birding thread.
FYI it opens okay on my iPhoneLooks like I can't open Birdforum at all on my iPhone now; so I won't be posting anything further until this can be fixed.
Strange it is fine on old iphone, ipad and desktop. Access Forbidden on the new phone though was working initiallyFYI it opens okay on my iPhone
The Purple Sandpiper was photographed by a fisherman. Been a few years now since the last site record (they’ve become very rare, although I think I’ve seen c.4 there previously).Grafham Water 6 Dec ; far too foggy to count the GND's today; it was a surprise to read about Purple Sandpiper reported on Rarebird Alert on 27 Nov? I hope there are some photos to look at as this is one I've been waiting for for many years; last reservoir bird I found was in 1976 at Pitsford! Only wader I could see today was this one .........
Not that I know of. It was sent to the county recorder who confirmed the ID.Interesting; is the photo on-line anywhere? The Redshanks look very dark and can confuse the average fisherman. Some of them have a fair knowledge though.
