Did I type stilt sandpiper last night, oopps silly me, that should have been
long-billed dowitcher

Well after having a good look at the bird this morning, finally getting it to
fly and call at the same time the conclusion is long-billed dowitcher, with a
short bill - which started this stilt sandpiper thing off in the first
place.

Next time I'll bring my binoculars when I go pulling loosestrife - no
mistakes hopefully !!!!!
