Another 2 waders that are causing me confusion, easy hits for the experts of course. Both taken at the same time a couple of months ago.

I think the first bird is a Little Stint. I'm not quite so sure on the second, although if I saw it in the UK I would probably say Dunlin.

Agreed.

StuartReeves · Tuesday 3rd May 2005, 14:02

Yep, no disagreement from me either.

Clean underneath that Dunlin, but the jizz is distinctive
