Autumn Passage continues.

Some new Waders dropped in at the pools Saturday, with a single Sanderling (bottom pic) and a Little Stint found amongst the Ringed plovers as we scanned the flock looking for the broad-billed sandpiper that wasn't to be seen. The days highlight for me was the curlew sandpipers, with 2 adults showing and a small gathering of juveniles feeding with the dunlin. Also had some pleasing moments watching the wood sandpiper with the curlew sandpipers (2nd from bottom pic).

Sneaking up on the Sanderling.

The tide was in yesterday afternoon as i took a stroll on my local patch. So i was quite pleased to see these two waders at rest on the shingle. It took me a while to crawl closer without disturbing them So that i could get some photos, before i had to crawl away again to leave them in peace.
