A great place you found there, didn't you. And found some lovely birds in there.

Nice one Bill.
 
Thanks James

that's why I stuck a question mark after Redshank - red legs - is that a Black winged Stilt

I thought that the bird with the green/white patch on it's wing in the centre was a Yellow billed duck not a Cape Shoveler, (I see now the Cape Shoveler in the background and on the water) - but the one flying is that a Yellow billed duck
 
The dusty blue forewing on the flying duck indicates Cape Shoveler. The only Yellow-billed is the sitting bird back left.

And yes, the red legged waders are all Stilts.

Cheers

James
