Hi Merlin. I think these are 2 different birds although I couldn't be 100%. The 2 birds at Inner Marsh turned in to 1 bird over the weekend and has now turned in to no birds for the past 2 days. But there were 2 Dowitchers reported at Marshside last week while the 2 at IMF were still showing. So my guess is there was 4 seperate birds. Remarkable to think for such a rare bird.
