Hi All,

I don't manage to identify the stints/sandpipers both sides of the Sanderling on this photo. Can you help please?

Hi and thanks,

I initally identified the left one as semipalmated, but the right one seems too dark compare to the left... but indeed they have the same shape.

Cheers

Valéry
