This series of 6 Dunlin photos features a very large non-breeding plumage Dunlin (the gray one)that I thought might have been a Curlew Sandpiper (non-breeding plumage)but when it flushed there was no white rump and that settled the matter. The bird was at least 10-15% larger than the others it was with. Some of these shots exaggerate that difference a bit.
Th photos were taken at the "boathole" on the west side of the Gurnet (Gurnet Point).
