Thanks. I am uncertain as the size proportion is strange. According to bird guide,
Marsh Sandpiper should be around 26cm while Greater Sand Plover is 22cm. In the photo, the Greater Sand Plover seems bigger. So is it just a matter of distance, or the reference size shouldn't be considered too strictly?
