What a smashing group.... and I love how the one on the right is keeping an eye on you LOL.

A super picture of gorgeous waders - thanks Chris.
 
Lovely shot, Chris, I love to see them all tucked up like this! (I've only ever seen them in France, Chris, and only on one occasion)

Looks like you caught them at nap time ;) A great group shot Chris
 
Congratulations on your first shot of a purple sandpiper. A great group close-up. I like the expression in the eyes of the redshank behind. They look quite malevolent.
 
Well done, Chris, and this is a wonderfully composed group shot.
