    Default Plover or Stint?

    Stuck for an ID on the attached, taken in Cornwall. Nearest I can get is either a ringed plover or a stint.....but not confident of either

    Help please

    Not sure, but could it even be a Turnstone, Bob?

    Yep, looked at that as well, but wasn't convinced. Must be one of those dithering days!

    Not at all! Most birds don't conform to photos folks have taken of them.

    I think it's a conspiracy!
