Sorry I've not been on this in months!!! But now it is the winter and I'm more a winter birder so I should be here a bit more often.
So here I am with some pictures of my holidays from Islantillia Spain which is in Andalusia area - don't worry they are birdie photos silly - no dodgy holiday snaps here!!
Sanderling having a wee snack
Sanderling having another snack.
Sanderling having a rest - you can see in this picture that they do not have a hind claw - if they did it would be a bit like us trying to run in sand with stilettos on.
Juvenile Gull - I am thinking a Lesser Black Backed Gull (will take suggestions)

Two adult Lesser Black Backed Gulls???
Juvenile Lesser Blacked Gull and Sanderling - shows you how small the Sanderling is.

hey rho, your bottom 2 gulls are LBB gulls, they have yellow legs, GBB would have pink legs. Great photos of the sanderling, I've still never seen one.
