Two photos taken in El Clot de Galvany Reserve, Alicante, Spain yesterday (21 Sep 2011)

I think the first one is a Ruff next to the Wood Sandpiper but I'm not 100% certain?

The second one is either a juvenile Sardinian Warbler or a juvenile Subalpine, for any confirmation could I ask that you point out the salient features as I'm still struggling with Med warblers in all their variations :t:

Thanks in advance

Mark

Not sure on the warbler but the wader on the left in the first picture looks like a Pectoral Sandpiper, with the Wood Sandpiper on the right.

I agree Pectoral Sandpiper for sure, nice one. The warbler looks like a Subalpine Warbler to me.

Thanks folks, the Pectoral is a lifer for me, the Subalpine is only the second one I've seen. :t::t::t:
