Just one week into the month and what a start, of course I still haven't managed to photograph Wryneck, I've seen a few, but they are fast becoming a real bogie bird camera-wise, still I can't complain, first up is one of the many Curlew Sandpipers that have been teeming into Titchwell.
And one of the hundreds of Dunlin.
There was also a Dunlin like bird with a white rump matching the Curlew Sandpipers, but lots greyer, a moulting adult White rumped Sandpiper, soon to be joined by a juvenile Pectoral Sandpiper (yet to be photographed) as well. Along the road at Hunstanton there was also two juvenile Red-backed Shrike.
Click the pix for more.
Other posing species being Sanderling and Snipe, again click on image.
Ringed and Little Ringed Plover are at Titchwell in good numbers.
The Black winged Stilt "Sammy" is still there too, almost part of the furniture, he always seems to show best when there are other star birds on the reserve.
