A Pectoral Sandpiper with a Ruff at Recory Pit, Etton - one of the Maxey-Eton complex of gravel pits. According to postings on the local WhatsApp group, this bird arrived around 12:30 and left at 15:52 when it flew off high to the WSW. I got there about 13:30. Whilst I was there, a couple of workmen were doing something to the pipes to the pump in one corner of the pit and the two birds moved to the far end of the pit, but didn't seem to be bothered otherwise. There were no other birds at all on this quite small pit which has lots of small, gravel islands.
