This
species is seen at Stag Rocks in varying numbers, other longer
stretches of sandy beach in the immediate vicinity tend to hold more of
this species. In addtion to wintering birds the area is visited in
small numbers by Sanderling from other populations on their spring and
autumn migrations.
The
record count
during the period I counted waders there is 45
individuals on 02 December 1986.
