Dunlin; Correlimos Común

The latest discussion on these birds can be seen here: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?p=2368105#post2368105 It's looking a bit like a see-saw but "laruslister" has posted a long description explaining the differences.

I still have problems with most waders, especially in winter, but that's because I hardly ever see any around here apart from the small Plovers, Black-winged Stilts, Lapwings and Avocets. Most of my pictures of the waders were taken during a trip along the south coast of Spain in December.

Karen, the Avocet does not have an upcurved bill because it is a Black-winged Stilt! The experts are still in disagreement over the first photograph!

Originally I had these as a mix of Dunlins and Curlew Sandpipers, then the experts at birdforum.org said they were all Curlew Sandpipers, now they have re-examined them and some say they are all Dunlin while others think they are a mix so.....
