Great shot Jack and well captured, but looking at it I think this could be a Black-winged Stilt? although someone on here might correct me if I'm wrong.

If you google Red-kneed Dotterel the birds shown do look different to your shot.

Nice graceful shot. I agree it looks more like a Black Winged Stilt !
