A near miss

I'd put my remote camera out on Doxey Marshes over the weekend on a patch of mud which had been attracting a few wading birds including dunlin and ringed plover.  When I placed the camera there was a nice area of mud and I did manage a couple of (poor) videos of dunlin feeding and flying around.  A redshank was also a surprise, along with a video of what I think is a common sandpiper although the quality if poor.  Screenshots to follow and the videos will appear on the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust Facebook page, just like them to see - https://www.facebook.com/StaffsWildlife

Thankfully when I picked the camera up today I was just in time to save it from the rising water levels!
