I had posted another photo of this bird in the Photos Section but I have been informed by a couple of people that it is a Long Toed Stint. If so I am very happy as it's a first for me. Can anyone confirm? Neil.

I agree that it is a Long-toed Stint - they often look like miniature Sharp-tailed Sandpipers.
However Sharpies are generally heavier-bodied, larger headed and shorter-necked.
Cheers

Thanks Mike. I had a good couple of days with the LTS and a Ruff both 'lifers' for me. I have a Broadbilled Sandpiper in some of my distance photos but I I'm still going through them.Neil.
