Came across these two whilst walking on the beach in Oman.
I have them as Kentish Pluver and Terek Sandpiper. No doubt way out again
Cheers Eddie
hi eddie hope your well.i would say kentish plover,and green shank any more takers.
Thanks Tim,
What swayed me to the Terek S is the slightly upturned bill.
Eddie
Definite Greenshank - green legs and they have up-turned bills as well. Terek would have yellow/orange legs and yellow/orange base to bill.
Ah well, cheers guys
Life list has just diminished by one. #326
The beach had a large presence of Ospreys aswell. I had trouble with contrast but did manage an "OK" shot.
White Spectacled Bulbul around the hotel pools. Also a very fleeting glimpse of a Red Necked Nightjar. Dodgy shot taken as my camera/lens had no time to clear after leaving the ships a/c. could show, but its horrible. Sooty Tern sat all afternoon about 5 feet from me just preening itself. Ah, managed a good one of him ;D
See you around, Eddie
