| | | Bird identification (beach, Sussex)
I saw this small bird (smaller than a black-headed gull) today in Bexhill, Sussex. Not one I've seen before and I can't seem to identify it. The red legs have thrown me. Any help appreciated. Thanks.   |

I'm only guessing, but I'm wondering if it is a Turnstone is winter plumage?
