Found this bird struggling to fly 100 miles North East of Shetland. There is a bit of dispute among the boys what it is.

Is it a Ruff by any chance.

Thanks. JP

Not a Ruff but def a young something, it does have a Plover look about it.

Bit far north for a grey - I'd say young golden

Maybe not a Cormorant much more likely to be a juvenile Golden Plover
