Hi,

If there is some one out there who is convinced that this is a Little Stint could they please try convincing me.

I saw no hint of red or rufous in the greater coverts nor any sign of a line demarking the mantle. The bird was viewed at about 20 metres though a scope in excellent light.

It is a very nice looking bird but I must wait for my first Australian sighting of a Little Stint.

Lots of other good birds around though.

Regards,

Alan
