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