    Hooded Crow going about its business - no crop

    This Hooded crow landed on the beach in front of me then started strolling along the shoreline towards me as if I wasn't there! Strolled right by me. They're usually super shy when I've encountered them before but this was fabulous to watch.

    Stint? Sandpiper? Alentejo Coast Portugal

    Hi All, I´m at a loss here. Photos were made on October 6,2021. On both photos the bird on the right should be a Dunlin, I think, but what bird is on the left? I do not think it is a Little Stint because it is lacking the white V on the back. Please help. Cheers, Bert
