   Number observed:  1

3. Sanderling

   Number observed:  2

   Details

   Initial overall appearance was that of Sanderlings. Size of Sanderlings, white undersides including under wings and greyish/brown tops, flying with steady wingbeats close to the surface of the water. When they were flying away from me I did not see any dark on wings, only from my point of view white leading outside half of wing edges (I told my self to remember the white front edge to assist in identifying later). I have seen internet photos since showing the same pattern from certain angles which obscure dark edges on the wings.
