Kinneil Lagoon...one of those experiences that will stay in the memory...this is when the tail end of wave 1 passed by just as a second wave took off in the distance...uncropped and worth a zoom....there were a few thousand Knot and Dunlin, with a few Godwits and a Whimbrel.

Brouwersdam - Netherlands

Bar-tailed Godwit

A Dunlin, a pair of Ruddy Turnstone and Golden Plover share a rock on the beach near Boulmer, Northumberland.

Thankfully we timed our walk from Craster to Alnmouth with Hugh tide or just after the tide started to turn. As a result the beaches were full of a good deal of variety of feeding waders.

Another shot of these lovely waders

As usual, I have no idea what it is.......

Flying fast and low over the freshwater marsh at Titchwell Reserve.

With the weather front we just had it pushed in lots of shorebirds and geese. Murray Marsh

We get avocets along our coastline but I have never seen any in the water. This was taken at the Wetland Trust in Arundel.

photographed a little before seven then the light is beautiful in the summer

Dunlin - Calidris Alpina

Such endearing little birds. A spur of the moment late afternoon trip to Lake Ellesmere paid off with being able to take a few images (read 800) of the Red-necked Stint. Some are already in their beautiful breeding plumage which lends them their name. These tiny little waders are mere dwarfs compared to mature Banded Dotterels and Wrybills. The Red-necked stint look well fed for their return trip to their breeding grounds in the high arctic. I did not count them, but I guess I saw at least 25 of them.
