Rainham for Pectoral Sandpiper.

News that the Pectoral Sandpiper had been found again at Rainham came on bird guides around 1 o'clock so with my wife Jean wanting to join us we are soon on the road heading to look for the bird.
It is reported as being on Tringa pool, we are not sure where that is as it's not on any map of the reserve & we have not heard of it so,a quick check in the visitor centre reveals it to be the next pool after Aveley pool.
So on a lovely warm afternoon we head down there,on arrival about six or so people were already getting great views of the Pec, it was not to far away & was walking about with a ruff.
Probably the best view we have had of a Pec so we spend a good amount of time enjoying the bird as it walks up & down on the far bank not troubled by us being around.
