| Comments : | Juvenile, on beach adjacent Loch an Chorruch associating with a Sanderling and Dunlin flock. I strongly suspect this is a different bird to the bird at the east end yesterday! It appears to have a less solidly marked brest band, that and the fact the sites are c.5km apart and this bird is very loyal to same area and confiding - in contrast to the skittish bird yesterday. Alas I can't be certain. |
