Yes. Well done Ash. I wouldn't have found it but Steve Wallace (with Christine in support) picked up 2 sandpipers in the midday shimmer on the west side. As with previous visits of this species it was feeding with a sharpie enabling
easy comparison. From most angles the contrasting dark vest of the pectoral is evident. It is also slightly larger than the sharpie with a less rusty crown. Almost unphotographable with the distance and shimmer, but below gives the idea.
