Finally caught up with the/a Cleethorpes purple sandpiper at high tide today (4.30 pm).

It was halfway along the rock armour whale’s tail on the Wonderland side.

Provided some good views, but it regularly crept out of vision.

Further along the rocks, I counted a minimum of 41 turnstone.

Thanks to Sally and Chris for keeping me on the trail.
