This purple sandpiper sighted earlier this week on the Lincolnshire Coast could be in a spot of bother. Its left foot is coiled with what looks like plastic twine. The species frequently roosts on old breakwaters where the risk is of the twine being snagged on a protruding nail or splinter of old timber. For the time being, however, the bird was running freely with no indication of being inconvenienced.
