Wader on Kington Golf Course

Kington is one of the highest golf courses in the country on the english/welsh border.  I was playing there on friday and saw a wader on a hole appropriately named hilltop!  I'm pretty sure it was either a dotterel or golden plover, both of which have been seen in the area in the past.

 

From the distance we saw it from it looked fairly uniformly pale brown.  It sort of scurried for about ten metres then stopped and stood very upright for a few seconds before scurrying off again.  When stood upright it looked just like the juvenile dotterel in the RSPB handbook but would there be juvenile ones around at the moment?

 

cheers
