common sandpiper

I've just realised that I only uploaded 2 pictures today, so here's another shot of the distant (and extremely fast) Common Sandpiper from yesterday.

Another shot of this bird, a little close than the last picture.

Saw my first one of these this morning, at my local Reservoirs. It was a long way off, so I can't really crop it any closer than I already have. Anyway, there's a bit of a story goes with me getting pictures of this bird: I saw the bird about 300 yards away, it was walking close to the water's...

The area around my home town is mainly mountain,moorland and river valley.As a consequence I dont get much chance to shoot waders.We do have a few pairs of these turn up each year to breed on the moors though.

At least I think it is

Aint life great 6hrs in a cold hide not one shot come home dont feel like a pint decide to have a look on this Forum and wow all`s well again, first Ken with his Excellent King then Bernard with his Superb view and Marian returned,who could ask for more many thanks to all for your Superb post`s...

Sandpiper

Spotted this little sandpiper pottering about the rocky edge of the loch. The water was beautifully clear and reflected the blue sky, a great end to the last day of the holiday.

With some context for a change

Distant but its my first another excuse to celebrate with the girl`s.

This Common Sandpiper seemed to prefer the trees rather than rock or sand to do its calling from across the loch...probably wanted a bit of shade from that burning sun at the time :) - Mike

Another first for me, on camera at least. I'm leaning towards a Juv according to Collins, if anyone can confirm I'd be grateful, ta.

Living in the Welsh uplands I dont get to shoot many wader species.We still get a few of these on the moors though.

This must be the the most cute bird I have Photographed
