Temminck's Stint(Calidris temminckii)

No ordinary Little Stint(although actually quite alot plainer looking, plumage wise) this is a Temminck's Stint, very similar but longer in the body and a passage migrant and a lot less common than its relative. A very pretty bird in flight, with a white 'Y' shape on the open wings and dark shoulder marks. A lovely sight and one easily missed as it is so tiny!
