Re: Unidentified Sandpipers

Well, as Big Bill says, this bird recognition is a very difficult thing and I understand why so many birds are simply referred to as "LBJs" by the likes of me!
I managed to send both pictures to the RSPB and their response was that #1 (the left hand image - bird looking at the camera) is a juvenile Baird's Sandpiper and the other one is a juvenile Dunlin.
Many thanks for your responses.
Regards
Richard
