Title: Wader ID

Seen on Marske beach this Evening. It is about the size of a Dunlin but I have doubts that it is a Dunlin.

Looks like Sanderling to me.

Yes, Sanderling. Nice photos, the first one even shows that it lacks a hind toe - a diagnostic feature.

OK Thanks for these. I should have spotted it.
