Pectoral Sandpiper

There is a remote upland area of water and mud nearby named Brechfa Pool. It doesn't usually attract many birds, the odd Wader etc, but now and then something nice turns up and recently a Pectoral Sandpiper has taken up residence for a few days. There have been a few of these 'American' waders in the country recently and it's nice that we have had one here. It was an unusually confiding bird for a change, allowing very good views, sometimes this happens, who knows why? but I'm not complaining,
