G’day all,
Just been sifting through my photos from a recent trip to Darwin. Lee Point was chocka-block with waders and, surprisingly, I was pretty confident identifying most of the birds.
A couple of them stumped me so I’m asking for your help. I won’t even venture a guess as I have probably thought too hard about it now.
The birds in question are in the top two photos at the following link: http://comebirdwatching.blogspot.com/p/id-help.html
Thanks in advance.

Hm ! Chris, I was thinking Sanderling too, see Hayman, Marchant , and Prater, (1986)Shorebirds, p185, bird 189e, and better still O’Brien, Crossley, and Karlson (2006) The Shorebird Guide, p139 for birds very like your images.

Hi All They are definitely Sanderlings. Cheers Martin CachardCairns0428 782 808

In my opinion, they are Sanderlings, I think juveniles. Cheers, Steve
