Bairds Sandpiper Seaton Snook

well i was fucked!!! got to bed at 04:30 after doing the midnight walk for Overgate Hospice  13 miles and we did it in 3 1/2 hours! which is not bad. so a quick hotdog and home to bed...............up at 9 and on the road at 10.
Teeside is only up the road and easier to get to than anywhere on the yorkshire coast...............ive seen a lot of good birds up here over the 30 years....................anyway gets to seaton snook just after 11:20 walked across some sand and saw the Bairds,because i was fucking knackered i cheekily put a group of birders on a dunlin!!! they were made up.
then the unspeakable happened!!!!!! someone walking their dog flushed them!!!! the horror!!!! its was like a scene from Apocalypse Now.............i saw no signs tell people this was a birders only beach?
