Can someone tell me what this bird is? I saw it by the coast around noon today in cold and very windy conditions. I'm afraid I couldn't get a better photo.
My guess, dipper, or robing minus tail....
Did you note its actions, walk, stance etc?

Thanks for the suggestions, Mike. I saw it fly across the path to the rocks on the beach. It sat there for a bit and then flew off to a more distant rock. I don't think it bobbed up and down. Below is an even worse photo of its stance on the distant rock!
