Hi everyone,
I´m sharing a couple of photos of waders I took last weekend at the EVOA birdwatching site near Lisbon, Portugal. I have no doubts about the grey plover. However, the second largest bird (right in the first photo and left on the second) I´m not so sure. It looks like a dunlin, but the bill is longer than I would expect. I find this bird also very small compared to the grey plover in the photos. Moreover, I have no clue what the smallest bird species is. I thought it could be a little stint (Calidris minuta), but again the bill looks longer than assumed. What am I missing in these birds?
Thanks a lot in advance.
