Hi, We have just looked through the pictures taken on Mon 18th March in Sheringham and spotted a wader in the shot that we can't be certain of. We know there are plenty of turnstones in the pic but the bird on the left most definitely doesn't look like one.
I know that there have been purple sandpipers spotted in the area after checking Bird Guides but can't be sure if this is one. From looking at other pictures of them it seems like a possibility. This is the only picture we have.

Thanks
Sandra

Yes, you are correct, it is a Purple Sandpiper.
