I was walking towards one of the local ponds earlier today when this little guy flew up in front of me. Although I knew straight away it was a wader I had no idea what species it was, other than some sort of Sandpiper. It flew around the pond a couple of times before landing again on a brick wall on the other side. I decided to keep my distance and take a few record shots.
Thanks to Janice Robertson I now know this a Common Sandpiper. My first one for the local area too! Although I have seen waders at the ponds around here before, the sightings have been few and far between so whenever I do see one, it’s always a nice surprise.

In these photos you can see them foraging for food in the trees. They are also licking the leaves on the tree where the nectar put out by the keepers has dribbled off the branches. The marmosets love this nectar and can't get enough of it!
I love this shot as they will hang upside down so they can reach their food.
Common Butterfly Triggerplant (Stylidium piliferum). I kept running across the distinctive foliage of this plant, but in most cases I was too early to see the flowers. Roadside stop just west of Walpole in Western Australia.

The Common Mormon (Papilio polytes) name is an allusion to the polygamy formerly practiced by members of the Mormon sect. According to Harish Gaonkar, of the Natural History Museum in London:
... the origins of giving common English names to organisms, particularly butterflies for tropical species started in India around the mid 19th century ... The naming of Mormons evolved slowly. I think the first to get such a name was the Common Mormon (Papilio polytes), because it had three different females, a fact that could only have been observed in the field, and this they did in India. The name obviously reflected the ... Mormon sect in America, which as we know, practiced polygamy.
The scientific name is constructed from the Latin word for butterfly, papilio, and the Greek word for many, poly.
Can be seen throughout the summer in the UK - they arrive in April and leave in August and September. Common Terns breed along coasts with shingle beaches and rocky islands, on rivers with shingle bars, and at inland gravel pits and reservoirs, feeding along rivers and over freshwater.

These are common indeed and I see many of them every day, but they are a royal pain to photograph. I rarely can get anywhere near close to one sitting still and when I do it's a tattered sort like this. Maybe they give up more easily. Of course as soon as I moved a few inches forward from my heavily leaf-camoflaged position it flew.
