    Details

    This was a very small wader looking similar in size the nearby Little Stint. It was difficult to pick out the distinguishing features of the bird due to the distance and the poor light although identification was made a little easier as I could compare it with the nearby Little Stint. It was overall darker on the head and back with a more scalloped appearance on it's back. The shin, breast, belly and under-tail were mainly white although the bird did have a partial pale brown breast band at the side of the upper breast. The bill looked dark from this distance. The leg colour was difficult to see at times although the didn't look black like the Little Stint's legs. After all of the waders took to flight following the appearance of a Sparrow Hawk the Least sandpiper landed at the far side a the pool closer to the hide. Although still fairly distant for filming I could pick out that it had greenish legs through the scope. The bird moved around quite fast on the mud at times reminiscent of a Sanderling. This bird had been identified as a first winter bird.
