Observation details
was in back part of ditch when I arrived then flew further away from road and into field. Walked around in this area for a bit, initially coming back towards ditch but then walking away in field again. Eventually took off and started soaring in thermals though not in a hurry to go anywhere. Watched it in scope and bins for perhaps 30 minutes as it soared around and then eventually disappeared to the southwest where I could no longer see it even in the scope. Last sighting probably just before 11am. Gigantic wader with thick black neck and ruby/red base. Body all white with slight brownish mottling. Photo'ed by many in ditch (before I got there). Have several flight shots, one attached here.
