Observation details
Found earlier today. Quite buffy suggestive of a first year bird, molting into to adult Reeve//faeder type plumage. Small, pin headed look, with blank looking face and slight eyeline. Dark, short, straight bill with slight decurve;. Floppy tertials and “cheese grater” scaps were evident in all postures. Scaly diamond back patterning. Buffy edges across back fairly evident (again bird was quite buffy overall with back patterning also suggestive of a young bird). Some random dark flecking on the breast and fairly dark, densely streaked “hood” not dissimilar to the many adjacent yellowlegs. Orange-yellow legs. Cleanish white underbelly/undertail coverts. Incredible attention to detail by Ian Doherty, in picking out what was undoubtedly overlooked by many other birders who have been here in the last week for the Wilson’s Phalarope, buried in the hordes of Tringas in this marsh currently.
