Observation details
Small wader with fairly strong black bill and slightly bulbous bill tip. In non-br plumage, with overall dull brownish-grey plumage with white underparts, and off-brown to blackish legs. This bird showed a pale nuchal collar, permissible in this species due to bleaching and delayed moult. Common Ringed Plovers nearby for comparison. Twitched by many local birders. Photographs taken with iPhone through Vortex scope, which was a not-inconsequential challenge, given the close proximity of the bird.
