I was out at Richmond today for a relaxing morning before the heat set in for the day. I also went in search of a reported sighting of a Common Sandpiper (which I have never seen before) at a particular pond in the Lowlands. Didn't find the Sandpiper but saw this fire in the distance instead. The winds in Richmond today were reaching up to 69kms/hr so there were lots of sirens from Fire engines heard. The fire looked closer than it actually was but it still made an interesting picture. This fire was reported on the 6'0 clock news. Unfortunately I only had my birding lens with me so this was taken at 150mm.
