The Solitary Sandpiper — Totanus Solitarius (Wilson)
This is an American species, which, like so many of its New World congeners, has occasionally and at long intervals straggled to these islands.
Its nearest ally is the preceding species, from which it may be recognised by having all the tail feathers, except the central pair, boldly barred with black. Length 8·25 in.; wing 5·2 in.
