A lovely group image this one Stanley.

You're so lucky to see them in summer plumage, I only get them in the winter here.

Would you please send a few to Munich. Please do not forget the sand to create a typical beach. Sunshine is not a problem at the moment here. A super picture of these beautiful little waders. Great exposure and detail.

Wonderful capture Stanley, really shows the variable colours, no doubt as they move from non breeding to breeding plumage, such an interesting period to observe.
