Juvenile pectoral sandpiper. Did you find it?

Hello,
its a 1 cy Pectoral Sandpiper. Please note well demarcated streaked breast, contrasting sharply with white belly. Apart from that it looks like a 1 cy Dunlin and a 1 cy Ruff.
If you see a wader, and you cant decide if its a juvenile Dunlin or a Ruff and it has a unform dark patterned breast, its a Pectoral SP.
Good find, congratulations!

Hi Butty, I was aware of reports of Pec Sand in Yorkshire, though wasn’t sure exactly where…popped into the reserve as driving passed (never visited before). Viewed through screens in the car park.

I'd say that counts as a self-found 👍🏻
