Field Notes

Description:

In summer plumage of marbled buff and chestnut with pure white belly. The very similar Little Stint has a pale line above the eye and is slightly smaller.

Habitat:

Beach, by the shore at low tide.

Notes:

I know the map shows it in the sea but the tide was out when I took the photo and in when Google took theirs!
