Little Stint - Easthaven.

Photos of the Little Stint that Anne found on Saturday at Easthaven. Photos in all levels of light, the sunny ones have more colour. There are many photos, often with reflection, I doubt I'll get an accomodating Little Stint like this one again soon, if ever.

It was my Webs count on Sunday which proved fruitful with one new species, the Little Stint, but also a Mediterranean Gull, Grey Plover, Lesser Black-backed Gulls, Knot and 15 Bar-tailed Godwits in a group, an unusually high number for Easthaven.

When the sun shone, a bit, the Little Stint showed some colour, other photos it looks more grey which is what it looked like to the eye

This one was further away and cloudy at the the time, you can see a few grey feathers moulting through

It's difficult to gauge the size from these cropped photos, it wasn't much bigger than a Greenfinch that landed near it. Small compared to a Dunlin and more so to a Sanderling.
