    Semi-P Sandpiper? SW Scotland

    Found this bird at high tide this evening at The Wig, Loch Ryan among Dunlin & Ringed Plover. Wasn't 100% sure while watching it but having reviewed my images it obviously has webbing between toes. Am I right in thinking its a Semi-P Sandpiper? (rather than Western...) Gavin

    Blue-winged Teal? at Wigtown, Dumfries and Galloway, UK.

    My brother (Alyn) has now found another interesting bird at Wigtown, in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. He and I believe its a Blue winged Teal given the white loral spot, split eye-ring and long looking bill. Any thoughts would be gratefully recieved.

    Wilson's Snipe??, Wigtown Harbour, D&G, Scotland My brother (Alyn) found and photographed this Snipe on the 12th Oct from the hide at Wigtown Harbour. He thought it looked different to the other snipes present and thinks it has features that resemble Wilson's Snipe. Any thoughts? Gavin ps...
