Doing what... (Calidris ruficollis)

... Stints do. Messing about in mud!

We were making our way back along the beach and Ken spotted a wee group of Red-necked Stints for me; they're so small and well-camouflaged in the mud I don't think I'd have seen them.

A bit distant but I didn't want to move any closer to them.

You are right. They do blend in well with their surroundings. Must find some good stuff to feast on in the mud and so nicely captured.
