Hi folks, I spotted these while on a trip to Aberysteyth. They were sunning them selves among the rocks & seaweed. I know the one is a young ringed plover, but what`s the other? Maybe a turnstone?

Thanks for looking

In pic two, you are quite right, it's a Turnstone with a Ringed Plover. Pic one, also Ringed Plover and Turnstones (from what I can make out).

Thanks Picadae, they were really well camoflaged & I didn`t see them at first. I haven`t knowingly seen a turnstone before so I`m well pleased

Thanx again.

Congratulations in order then! (I often don't see Turnstone until they actually move, they are incredibly camoflaged!)
