The sheer effrontery of it! This woodpigeon at Cleethorpes Boating Lake was taken aback on Tuesday evening when its personal space was invaded by a highly unexpected arrival - a common sandpiper. Despite its name, the latter - a small wading species - is far from being common. Indeed, it is a very rare visitor to the boating lake. The bird seemed unperturbed by the presence of the much larger pigeon which, after a few seconds’ worth of indignation, waddled off in high dudgeon.
