    Florida Sandpipers ID

    Dear birders, a few days ago I saw different waders in southern Florida (Everglades NP) and since I'm German I have troubles identifying them. Help is much appreciated! :) Regards Manuel

    Waders in the Netherlands--Groningen

    Hi all! Can you confirm immature Ruff (and not a Knot) for wader 1a-b, a flock of Ruffs for wader 2, and (please excuse the image quality) a Dunlin for wader 3a-c? Photos taken 28.08.2022. Thanks!

    Waders in the Netherlands--Dannemeer

    Photos taken 30th July 2022 at Dannemeer. Not sure if the poor quality allows for an ID. I suspect either a Stint or a Sandpiper (Common or Wood? There were many Woods around). Bird 1: Photos 1a-e. Perhaps size comparison with adjacent Graylags, Ruff and Lapwing helps. Bird 2: Photos 2a-b. I...

    Glossy Ibis. Though more common than they once were, they are still relatively rare visitors in the UK, and certainly this year has seen an influx in Norfolk, but this was my first. Fabulous birds.

    Small wader bird - NL

    Hi everyone, I saw this cute wader on the Zandmotor beach in the Netherlands a few days ago (2nd of April). My best ID right now is Dunlin, Calidris alpina, mainly due to the black rump (see blurry in flight photo). However, I find that its plumage is not brown enough for summer plumage, and...

    When I filmed this Common Snipe from within an observation hut in rain I was thinking that it would be interesting to film more birds in rain in future, also to observe how they cope with rain or what they do when it rains...

    We didn't expect to see them approach us. At one point , we were surounded by them. We were able to observe them feeding at close range. Sometimes even too close for the camera.

    Little stint

    This injured little stint with an injured leg was spotted in Leangenbukta yesterday and is most certainly the last one to migrate south from Trondheim. It was limping on the stump in the right foot while feeding.
