Two for the price of one

OK, I couldn't decide.
I thought a few Autumn migrants might be passing through at Levenhall Links, and it looked like decent light although the tide was all wrong, so off I went.

Good decision, two newly photographed birds, one a lifer and I think both unrecorded in Anth's Blipbigyear list. Both breed in the far Siberian tundra and pass through to get to Africa.

On the left, the wee, short-billed bird with the white breast and underside in front (and the one at extreme right) are Little Stint (Calidris minuta)

On the right, juvenile Curlew Sandpipers (Calidris ferruginea). Ferruginia speaks of the fine brick-red breeding plumage that we never see this far south.
