Wader help: Ythan estuary, Aberdeenshire (1 Viewer)

Good morning,

I saw a wader yesterday on the mudflats on the Ythan estuary. I’m thinking Ruff, but the beak is quite long and bird relatively small, is a juvenile Curlew Sandpiper a possibility? Bird was some distance away and photos are phone scoped.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers Pete

Thanks Steve,

I’ve been trying to see one for ages and always seemed to miss them. A lifer for me.

Thanks

Pete
