Observation details

A juv flew in at 15:30 with a small group of Ringed Plover and Dunlin on the edge of the marsh here (51.629773,-4.204667). It moved around, but we continued to relocate it typically on the edge of flocks of waders in grassy areas. Fairly small wader with a small buffy head and breast. Paler flanks and belly. Crisp scaly patterning on back and wings. Short black bill and fairly long yellow legs.
