A cold and very grey morning at Sheringham saw me checking the rocks at high tide for the winter visiting Purple Sandpipers. Two had been reported in recent weeks, but sightings were over a few different areas, and it was just a case of checking each time I was there. On my two previous visits I'd not seen any, but it proved to be third time lucky. I'd already scanned the rocks to no avail, and had walked up and down a couple of times looking, but it was on my way back that I spotted that lovely purple sheen and orange feet and bill. It was too cold to hang around, but I got a few shots to satisfy my annual craving. I really love these birds, and it may be the last time I see any until the late Autumn months again.
