The evocative, liquid bubbling call can constantly be heard on the moorlands of northern Scotland during the breeding season. Up to 60 cm long, the curlew is the largest European wader. A widespread breeding bird in Northern Europe and Russia.

With winter fast approaching I try to take advantage of any break in the weather. I was surprised to find a few of these at this spot, especially close to the viewing platform and in good light. I'm always pleased when I manage to get the red eye-ring in the shot.
This elegant ae’o feeds on fish, arthropods, and various invertebrates in shallow shoreline marshes and wetlands. Though frequently seen in the main Hawaiian archipelago, ae’o, the Hawaiian stilt, is listed as endangered due to loss of habitat and predation by introduced species. A non-migratory, endemic subspecies of the black neck stilt, it has the second longest legs (after flamingos) relative to body size among birds.
I always love watching flocks of waders in flight and I'm hoping to get some bigger group shots in Norfolk next week!
Another from our visit to Lake Preston. Fortunate to have a sufficiently high shutter set when the bird took off unexpectedly.
We’ve already got a few shorebirds back - maybe failed breeders or young birds. Redshank and turnstone pencil sketches.
A mixed flock of waders,mainly knot,dunlin and sanderling.Seen a few years ago from the beach at Hoylake.A great location to photograph waders.
bedtime ritual, posting to flickr.
Here is an outtake from my recent photo shoot with Wade. We have a lot of fun taking photos and we often strike amusing poses to break up the monotony of our faux modeling careers.
Here is Wade defiling his dashing Perry Ellis scarf. I love how the fringe resembles a cartoonish mustache.
las aves limícolas (del latín limus, significando que vive en el limo o lodo) son parte de los Charadriiformes. Son un grupo de aves acuáticas relatívamente diverso que comprenden las siguientes familias:
Suborden Limicoli
Familia Scolopacidae: andarríos, agachadizas, correlimos, falaropos y afines;
Familia Rostratulidae: aguateros;
Familia Jacanidae: jacanas;
Familia Thinocoridae: agachonas;
Familia Pedionomidae: llanero;
Suborden Charadrii
Familia Pluvianidae: pluvial;
Familia Pluvialidae: chorlitos dorados;
Familia Ibidorhynchidae: picoibis;
Familia Recurvirostridae: avocetas y cigüeñuelas;
Familia Haematopodidae: ostreros;
Familia Charadriidae: chorlitos y avefrías.
Suborden Chionidi
Familia Burhinidae: alcaravanes;
Familia Chionididae: palomas antárticas;
Familia Pluvianellidae: chorlito de Magallanes;
A pesar de poder adaptarse a distintos bioclimas, las aves limícolas están generalmente asociadas a zonas húmedas y esencialmente a zónas húmedas costeras, como los estuarios y lagunas. Muchas de estas especies son conocidas por sus largas migraciones, en algunos casos desde el Ártico hasta el sur de los continentes australes.

Waders are birds commonly found along shorelines and mudflats that wade in order to forage for food (such as insects or crustaceans) in the mud or sand. They are called shorebirds in North America, where the term "wader" is used to refer to long-legged wading birds such as storks and herons. Waders are members of the order Charadriiformes, which includes gulls, auks and their allies.
There are about 210 species of wader, most of which live in wetland or coastal environments. Many species of Arctic and temperate regions are strongly migratory, but tropical birds are often resident, or move only in response to rainfall patterns. Some of the Arctic species, such as the little stint, are amongst the longest distance migrants, spending the non-breeding season in the southern hemisphere.
I have re-edited a couple of movie clips that I had taken during the autumn migration in 2019. My clips were taken in two adjoining fields when driving the short entrance road to El Fondo Visitors Centre. The first clip of different Plovers, Little Stint, Black-winged Stilt and the flying over Barn Swallows, was only one a third of the field and the same numbers of birds covered all of the full field areas, it was such an amazing experience.
