Green Sandpiper

As I was standing looking over the reserve from the path this morning, a Green Sandpiper dropped in just next to the stony island.  Unfortunately it then flew off almost immediately, before I could get my camera on it, and flew high towards Rakewood.

Since I didn't get any photos, here's a photo of a Buff-tip Caterpillar that I encountered on a Sycamore by the main path close to the Peanock Farm area (this was on the 17th however).
