You've got that lovely water again to go with these stunning waders. Love 'em!!!

A wonderful picture Ove - thanks lad.

They seem to make a good quartet! Maybe the Momas and Papas, though I guess that name was taken a long time ago. Fabulous picture of these beautiful waders in the same frame. You can really see the differences and similarities between the two species. Superb JJ! TFS!

I found a pair of crossbills today. :) Amazing conditions you have at the salins. A wonderful behavioural capture of these waders. I got home with dirty cloths from attempts for a decent skylark capture.
