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?

No, that's it, but I thought Wandering with the lack of white behind the eye.

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
