Tintern. - I have never heard a call from any wader
that approached it in musical quality. It made
such a deep impression impression on me that
I can recall it now with perfect distinctness
although I heard it only three or four times. The
bird was evidently flying about high in air & 
must have passed directly over the house. Both
this evening and last first after sunset I
heard what I took to be another call of this
Sandpiper on the further bank of the river, a
petulant kep, kep repeated a great many
times in succession and almost exactly like
the corresponding cry of Actitis macularius. The
bird appeared to be on a cluster of rocks exposed
by the tide but I did not see it.
