Thats made me think of Wigeon.

Has it. Is that your answer then?

Okay Fauna, i see you have gone offline now, so i will give you that one! It is a wigeon. Heres the actual photo below:
   

Okay, that last one was worth 20 points, so well done to Fauna! You move up to 2nd place and only 15 points behind JamieWade.

1st. JamieWade94 = 55 points
2nd. Fauna = 40 points
=3rd. The Stoop = 20 points
=3rd. Nicola = 20 points
4th. Kingfisher = 10 points

And heres the next:
   

Ringed plover?

Along the right lines but a bit rarer.

little ringed plover?

I'm going with Kentish Plover.

Unless the photo has got the colours all wrong, the legs are not yellow enough for a Little Ringed Plover, but they do look correct for a Kentish Plover.

By the way, the Kentish Plover is known as Snowy Plover in the US, and I have seen them. They are rare, and endangered here.

Kingfisher

Yes! Well done Kingfisher, it is indeed a Kentish Plover, photographed on the beach at Marazion in Cornwall a few years ago. That puts you in joint 3rd place with Nicola and The Stoop.

Heres another to reflect upon!

Cheers Paul my kids pulled me off to make some Pancakes.

I will go for Turnstone (winter).

Common Sandpiper?

Green Sandpiper?

All wrong. This is another rarity in the UK. This one spent October 2006 - May 2007 on the Hayle Estuary.

No guesses! Not even from Kingfisher. Its another American wader. This one gets its name from its summer plumage (the photo is in witer plumage)

Sorry, it's hard to keep up with this fast moving thread!

How about Spotted Sandpiper?
