MP, 27Sep. Is the one in the front a stint? I can't identify easily from a book. I guess it is a kind of stint because of the short and thick bill, but seems can't find one with black patch on the breast.
For the one in the background, it is Eurasian Curlew. Right? Thanks for the help.
Thanks both. So the black patch is because of moulting? Author: ajohn Time: 20/12/2014 19:19
Grey Plover are black on the face and belly in breeding plumage (the American name is Black-bellied Plover).
This bird is still moulting from breeding to non-breeding plumage, so still has some black feathers below.
