We just had to share another photo, courtesy of Mariposa tour leader David Moore, of the American Painted Lady that was patrolling a section of the Pembrokeshire coast this weekend. A thrilling, once in a British butterflying lifetime sighting - a picture speaks a thousand words.

Weekend Wash wader action, including my 2nd Baird's sandpiper of the month and probably my 4th White-rumped sandpiper. #Snettisham spectacle impressive as always. #Birding
