These small waders/shorebirds are very similar to Dunlin and are something of a rarity around here so I was glad to be able to get a couple of images. I hope I have ID correctly, I previously attached an image I thought was curlew sandpiper but I have been advised it was a Dunlin! I am going on the eye stripe and I get the impression the bill is a little longer than a Dunlin's.
