Observation details

I found the bird feeding with a Dunlin just as I arrived. The two birds got spooked by a wave. The sandpiper flew to the rocks near the lighthouse for a few minutes, before flying out to the break wall. I alerted others, but it was not seen the remainder of the day with many people looking.
