Could sks ID this little wader for me please. They're not very good shots, heavily cropped, but I'd like to know what it is.

Just checked Collins Complete British Birds Book and can agree with above mentioned that its a Grey Phalarope (Phalaropus fulicarius)

Definately Grey Phalarope, a very nice find Ben.
Be sure to inform your county recorder as Phalaropes are not at all common.
