Waders - a second look (part 2)

   
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 I'll need a number of posts to cover all the species with some good and bad photos taken over many years with varied cameras.
