No prizes for guessing where I've been this Easter :-)
Taken at East Point, Darwin
it's a Tattler - now is it a Grey-tailed or a Wandering?
Do you have any other pics?
Peter
No, that's it, but I thought Wandering with the lack of white behind the eye.
And these couple Lesser Sand Plover, Terek Sandpiper?
#1 - Wandering Tattler (non - breeding)
#2 - either Lesser or Greater Sand Plover
#3 - I don't know, sorry
Tegan - Melbourne Vic.
The Tattler is a Grey-tailed Tattler, no grey on the flanks, it's not unusual for them to look like this with the supercilium stopping at the eye. I agree on the other two, Lesser Sand Plover with short blunt bill, & Terek Sandpiper.
Thanks all.
SteveM, see what you mean about the grey flanks.
Cheers
