Sandpiper and shore bird needlepoint patterns

In most, a sandpiper standing in profile on a line of sand, or a pair in the folk art one: a small round body, flecked above in even rows in most.

It is drawn in several styles, from flat color to shaded. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and many are marked intermediate. The legs and bill are thin lines, so count them first; the flecks are a regular scatter, counted row by row.
