Turnstone.

One of a number of these speedy little birds that were feeding at the waters edge as the tide receded.

Large may help.

Hello Roger, "What does a Turnstone look like"? That's what came to mind when I saw the Thumbnail, but to be honest I am really not to sure on this.
Good catch just the same and I'm sure the answer will come up shortly.

The markings on the head are definitely those of a Turnstone, and I think the legs of Turnstones are more colourful than those of s ringed Plover.
To be sure have a look at this link, Roger.

No sé si alguien lo dijo. Creo que es un Chorlito Grande [Charadrius hiaticula], aunque también se parece al Chorlito Dorado Común [Pluvialis apricarius] pero este último tiene las patas de color negro, mientras que el Chorlito Grande las tiene amarillas, eso decide.

A lovely capture Roger..............I'm surprised that it stood still enough for you to take a shot as they normally dash around very fast!

Thank you Keith, they were a bit quick that's the reason for the slightly higher than usual ISO

What a darling little bird! I adore shore birds and such a coincidence as I have a pair of insets today which feature a shore bird too! :)

Thank you Janet, they can be a devil to capture as speed is a defense mechanism for these little birds and gosh they can run.
