Sharp-tailed Sandpiper assuming the bill was actually black! Possibly
Pectoral S/p which has a pale base to the bill and an look a slightly larger and
decurved bill than "sharpie". Need to see it front on for Pectoral and see the
pale bill base
Lone wader at Kelly's Swamp this morning. It was a looong way
away but may be recogniseable to those familiar with waders (I'm not) even from
my fuzzy photos. It had greenish legs and bills was slightly curved
downwards. A stilt is included for size comparison. Really
needed a scope.
