Hi there.
Some great seabirds displaying at this location in East Scotland this week.

Not too sure on this one though. Hope the picture is clear enough to identify. Purple Sandpiper, hmm perhaps?

And if anyone wants a nice 64 second video with 6 + species in there, here: 1230121.mp4

Looks like Knot.

Makes sense as there were definitely Red Knot there, a group of them. But this one appeared so grey in comparison.

Thank you

A lot of wader species are grey and white in winter but a lot more striking in breeding plumage (and often quite confusing at times in between).

Probably 1st-year.
