| | | Bird for I.D
Okay, so i was in mull in July 2010, and found this little bird foraging on the shore, I struggled to identify it at the time and although my other bird I.D skills have improved, my wader I.D is still pretty poor. I have had suggestions from pectoral sandpiper (my original thought) to little stint. So can anyone let me know for definite? Cheers, Joel

Think it's a Sanderling in summer plumage.

Little stint summer plumage for me, looks have to much brown on wing for summer sanderling and looks totaly wrong for pectoral sandpiper I may be wrong though as not that good on waders MIKE |

Haha, cheers guys, good to see it wasnt just me who finds it a bit difficult! I think i may need to get a bit more practice too, as at the minute, all of those birds put forward look pretty much the same! Cheers,
Joel

yes i suppose the fact that its standing still should have made me question little stint as they're always on the move and rarely still. | | |
