Hi all,

Just back from hols in the van. Some of you who have seen my prior postings will know I am not great at ID. This is particularly the case with sbjs and as today waders! I have tried my Collins and think…..

1. Ringed plover and sanderlings not sure about the other one?
2. Ringed plover and sanderling.
3. Great white egret - they were in Berwick harbour!
4. Dunlin
5. …… I have no idea!
6. Ruff?
7. Greenshank?
8. Eider?
9. Black-tailed? Godwit
10. ??

Thanks

Your IDs are correct except:
1 = The 'other' species is Dunlin
5 = Ruff
6+7 = Greenshank
9 = Bar-tailed Godwit
10 = Turnstone
