Common Sandpiper youngster - River Derwent

An endearing family of 4 downy young Common Sandpiper with both adults in attendance on the River Derwent this morning between Rowsley and Chatsworth. Even at this age they bob up and down just like their parents which is quite comical.
These are the young of the colour-ringed bird which I have photographed previously.
