Hello all;

1. Are these two birds one & the same or not? Juvenile & Adult maybe?

2. Whichever, I'm grateful for your ID(s) please...

Bird 1-1

Bird 1-2

Bird 2-1

Bird 2-2

Many thanks to all for any help...

Where abouts on Boa Vista were you? You seem to have seen a similar set of species to me last year.

Lou; Thank-you for the confirmation... I'm poor in general at IDs :C and really poor at shorebirds :eek!: ... Cheers...
