Some excitement down at Farmoor with the appearance of a Temminck's stint on the causeway. The bird was quite flighty, occasionally giving off its shrill call and associating with 3 dunlin and 2 sanderling. Despite seeing two a couple of days ago, thought I would go and see it because 1. might get a better photo than at Frampton and 2. one day I might have a respectable Oxfordshire list. The two sanderlings were approachable and I managed to get an okay photo in the diminishing light. Never seen a Temmincks before, then 3 in one week.
