I read this as Marsh Sandpiper and got very excited for a couple of seconds. :lol:

Nice sandpipers though, When the White-rumped Sandpiper was at Frampton i had Wood and Green also at Frampton and Common At Covenham Res.

I had a chat with John Badley a couple of weeks ago and suggested it was about time Frampton had a Marsh Sand, so Katherine your post title gave me a temporary thrill too.

:twisted: :wink: :mrgreen:

Sorry for being a wee tease as regards the title ambiguity - didn't realise the potential for confusion at the time I made the title!

** goes back to being a wee tease in other areas **

:wink:
