Pectoral Sandpiper at London Wetland Centre

Monday 13th September 2021

London Wetland Centre p.m.


It was all about Pectoral Sandpipers today with reports of 2 within reasonable travelling distance.  One was at RSPB Pulborough Brooks and the other was at the London Wetland Centre.  I chose the latter, primarily because it offered the chance of closer views.

  • Bang on cue, the bird was there, just 30 metres or so in front of me as I viewed from the WWF Hide.  It looked truly magnificent on the waters edge as it went about its business.

  • I also saw at least 6 Ring-necked Parakeets as I made my way back to the car. 

Well worth the visit!
