Another smart wader from a smelly, wet and thoroughly enjoyable hour lying in the seaweed on North Uist.

As long as you've got the right clothes on there's not many better ways to spend an hour or so than lying on the sand watching waders scurry past feeding on the shoreline.

The commonest small wader found along the coast. It has a slightly down-curved bill and a distinctive black belly patch in breeding plumage. It feeds in flocks in winter, sometimes numbering thousands, roosting on nearby fields, saltmarshes and shore when the tide is high.

What they eat: Insects, snails and worms (Courtesy RSPB)

Dunlin

Dunlin caught in a sudden heavy rainstorm at Titchwell Marsh. Luckily we had made the Island hide seconds before it started.

St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge, FL.

Dunlin sandpipers are common shorebirds around the world. They breed in northern Alaska apparently move west, migrating down the eastern side of Siberia and Asia to Japan and China.

There was great light today at Blackness at high tide and the Dunlin were flocking into the roost

It breeds across the top of both North America and Eurasia, and winters along coasts around the northern hemisphere.

Another shot of the Dunlin I saw earlier this week.
