Buff-bellied Pipit
Adult winter Dotterel- the remnants of the red belly patch and evenly bordered edges to coverts and tertials indicate this is an adu;t (in juveniles the coverts have notches and the tertials have undulating edges)
Adult White-rumped Sandpiper- one of three on the mountain. This bird can be aged by the worn primaries and overall grey colouration.
2 juvenile American Golden Plover
Buff-breasted Sandpiper and Mika
Dotterel and Eric
Little Egret- an individual with extensively yellow legs.
Northern Wheatear- presumably 'Greenland Wheatear' (below in flight)
View from the mountain

A nice afternoon on the mountain with 1 Buff-bellied Pipit, 1 Buff-breasted Sandpiper, 3 White-rumped Sandpiper, 2 American Golden Plover, 1 adult Dotterel, Snow Buntings and 10+ Wheatear.
A few other bits on the island including 2 Red-eyed Vireo, Pec Sand, Cattle Egret and Lapland Bunting. 48 birders now here.
