Shar824 Cream of the Crop  More info | Dec 07, 2011 22:49 | #4 Sandpipers are one of the hardest birds to identify, at least for me they are. There are so many of them that look alike. I typed in "sandpipers of Ireland" into google images, and even with all the ones that came up, I still couldn't pick out the sandpiper it might possibly be. There's a couple of good possibilities though. Maybe someone will be along before long with an ID of who this little guy is.. Sharon

It may be a Grey Plover or it may be a Golden Plover, that's the not part where it's hard to be 100% certain. If I had to guess based on this one photo, I'd say Grey Plover. Regards,
