Yet another second look at my old photos, and one I've been avoiding as I've got far too many wader photos to look through. Today's waders are from a folder of the same name and are the last post to cover waders, with some good and bad photos taken over many years with varied cameras. 


Winter plumage Sanderlings



Breeding plumage, a May bird



Winter plumage flight at Craigmill



I haven't counted them, perhaps you could and let me know

Snipe on the rocks at Hatton, I don't see many Snipe on beaches




Snipe at the Lurgies



Very unusual to see Snipe in the open


Distant photo of a Spotted Redshank at the Lurgies, Montrose Basin

Another faraway photo, this time near the Shelduck Hide



Spotted Redshank going to roost




May Turnstones just before migration



Also bird in May



Turnstone at Westhaven in October








The Water Rail section, not the easiest bird to find let alone photograph







Overdid the zoom and crop with this one



Juvenile Water Rail at the Bank of Scotland Hide, Montrose Basin




Whimbrel at Annat Bank, South Esk Estuary



Whimbrel near Montrose Sailing Club

Whimbrel at East Haven with a Curlew for comparison






White-rumped Sandpiper at Hatton, this bird is a vagrant from America



I sat for ages waiting for it to walk along in front of me, as it got near a birder flushed it.....




Wood Sandpiper at Kinnordy (and Google has made the photo too bright)




I might have another go at these two photos




Woodcock in Glenesk, rare to see in the middle of the day, and near at track




Woodcock in Glenesk, confident I was safe behind a fence
