A Wader Fest at Easthaven

A bright and sunny day although windy and at high tide the beach was covered in waders so I make no excuse for posting a few (many) photos below. In alphabetical as I couldn't decide on another order!



Bar-tailed Godwit


Curlews and others


Knot


Knot again (did you see what I done there)


They'd had enough and flew off


Curlew, Knot and Bar-tailed Godwit


Little Gull, flew south before I got close enough


Redshank


Ringed Plover, wings up


Down


Ringed Plover


Ruff with Ringed Plover, Dunlin, Sanderling and Turnstone


Sanderling


Turnstone


Wheatear, the odd one out and one of four going south


Montrose Basin and St Cyrus NNR

I didn't think I'd had a good day at Montrose Basin and St Cyrus until I looked at these and although I didn't find anything new I think this is a good variety including some rarer species, or at least those not seen so often.


Goosander juvenile


Little Egret


Peregrine


Snipe


Black-tailed Godwits


Buzzard


Canada Geese


Whinchat, St Cyrus, juvenile I think


Stonechat, St Cyrus


Common Blue, female


Small Heath
