Curlew Sandpiper, Hartlepool Life Boat Station

Curlew Sandpiper trying to steal the limelight from the Grey Phalarope near the Life Boat Station this morning. Some photographers were lucky enough to get both birds in the same shot.

It's a Dunlin.

Bu!!!!,another wrong ID. Other birders present confirmed it as a Curlew Sand so not entirely my fault. (but I should be more observant)
