One of the many Pectoral Sandpipers present in Cornwall. This one on the freshwater outfall of the Red River at Marazion Beach was very tolerant of people, many passing within feet of the bird, unaware of it's presence.

Buff-breasted Sandpiper, Marazion.Cornwall. 22/9/2011
An unusually close encounter with a very tiered looking juvenile Buff-breasted Sandpiper on the fresh water river outlet at Marazion Beach in Cornwall, despite initial concerns about it's condition it was later seen feeding along the tideline and appeared to be in good health. Hopefully it recuperated enough to carry on it's journey as it was not seen the next day.
