this was one of those surreal experiences; not aware that there had been a White-rumped Sandpiper in previous week, I was scanning the incoming Dunlin for the Western Sandpiper, along with several other birders when I came across this striking summer adult White-rumped Sandpiper but oddly as I watched it no-one else mentioned it being there which seemed strange as it was one of the closest birds, albeit still at c100m range - when I mentioned it to the guy next to me he quickly got onto it and everyone followed suit with it showing quite well later in the morning on the falling tide - The Western never came close enough even for a record shot
