Observation details
Lingering juvenile with Ruff flock. Seen down to c. 30 m and gave great views. Neat wader, distinctly smaller than smallest Ruff. Underparts clean buff apart from small dark spotting on sides of upper breast close to wing bend. Mantle neatly scaled with pale fringes and darker centres. Eye small and beady - isolated in side of plain, unmarked side of head. Head seemed proportionately small and rounded. Legs yellowish, Bill black - shorter than that of Ruff. In flight upper surface of wings, back and tail unmarked. Bobbed head forwards as it moved quickly through the grasses. Smart little shorebird.
