Observation details
Found earlier today at Milford Point sandbar, scoped here by Tom Murray, Stefan Martin and me. It was on the east bank of the river straight across from benches. Scope views in good light of a distant large mostly white shorebird with black in wings, Long sky-blue legs, and orangey head and neck. Unmistakeable. Eventually it took flight, flying up and down the river along the east bank, often being chased by two Herring Gulls. Last seen flying into the large Nell’s Is. salt marsh and out of view. Record photos.
