Seems it's lost or got left behind.
Has been on farmland for the past 2 days feeding in a small stream between the vegetable plots

This is the right time of year for autumn passage of Sharpies, but an interesting record away from Deep Bay. It looks like an adult bird - juveniles are very bright and have lots of rufous in the wings, and on the back and head as their plumage is fresh.
Adults that failed to breed are often the first returning migrant waders in autumn.
Cheers
