Hello - spotted these two individuals on the low tide of the mudflats opposite the Southern Esplanade in Cairns yesterday
Conscious that Great White, Plumed, Cattle, Eastern Reef and sometimes Little throw up a “challenge”, which is often relative size based to ID too which I appreciate my individual standing alone might not help with, but thought I’d try - thanks!
Individual one has a clearly yellow bill and was more in the distance and appeared larger
Individual two was closer up and had a largely dark bill but probably due to the mud it had probed! Appeared smaller
