More waders

More waders (Calidris alpina, Charadrius hiaticula)

Pretty sure the two at the water's edge are Dunlin, as I can just see a black belly on one of them. Guess you can see another Ringed Plover with them too.

Talking about them, it's weird. When I first counted the Ringed Plover in my last picture I saw 7! But now I can only see 5! I've searched and searched to find the 6th one that everyone else seemed to be seeing but can't get it.

On extreme blow-up there's two stones with similar colours to the plover, brownish and one of them is white underneath. Soooo I'm stuck LOL

A pleasing shoreline image Delia. Yes there seem to be two Dunlin, and eventually I got the Ringed Plover. Now to look at your earlier picture and take the Ringed Plover Challenge!

They look like they're too busy foraging to bother about you Delia.

Yes, Dunlin I'd say. Ironically, considering your Ringed Plover issue, there are actually three Dunlins...
