    I took these pics today in Slovenia... I thought it could be too big and "elegant" (long neck and legs) for a usual wood sandpiper. lesser yellowlegs sprung me to mind... anyone any ideas? thanks Domen Stanic

    Today I managed to re-find the bird in the same area and took some more pics: http://www.flickr.com/photos/birdpictures in my opinion it's probably a Commonn Sand (I took a closer look at the tertials). Even if I had very brief flight views of the bird (two times), I did notice the wing bar...

    ID Common/Spotted Sandpiper in Sloveina

    Hi! Yesterday I took these two pics on the border between Italy and Slovenia. Habitat: coastal rocky/muddy beach. They show a sandpiper: I think it's a Common, but wanted some opinions - confirmation. The legs seem strangely yellowish and I'm not sure about the tail lenght... What do you...
