I decide to go for it on 27th August and the bird was showing reasonably well on our arrival.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Greater Sand Plover is a rare vagrant from far eastern Europe into Asia, and there has only been 17 previous records, the previous bird I saw was in Norfolk back in 1985. This bird was much smarter as it was still in summer plumage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also during the day a juvenile Red-backed Shrike was showing at South
