yeah sorry about pics were taken from car and bird retreated up the hill before i could set my scope up to maybe digi a better pic and didn't like to go chasing round a cemetry after it and was pressed for time! seemed an unusal place to see a dunlin and was on its own mind you there was a snipe there out in the open as well and wouldn't have expected that either!

Yep, Dunlin, likely a juvenile.
