A shot showing the nasal groove.
A juvenile in flight. The underwing coverts of Wandering are supposed to be darker than Grey-tailed, according to Brazil's Birds of East Asia. I would guess that's a pretty difficult thing to judge in the field!

Some of these Red-necked Stints had very prominent 'split supercilia'.
A first winter still with some juvenile scapulars.
Birds started feeding in rock pools as the tide went down.
An adult 'PGP'.
Ruddy Turnstones - widespread, seldom numerous, always smart!
