Sizing Stints in Oz. (1 Viewer)

Here's a shot of a trio of stints, also photographed at the Manly Wader roost near Brisbane yesterday. The front right bird is somewhat smaller than its companions - would you say it is a runt Red Necked Stint or something else?

Regards, Laurie.

Hi Laurie

Looks like another Red-necked Stint

you do get odd small birds. I think this might be overemphasised a little by the photo. May be some 'size illusion' going on
