Out again today and our combined lack of knowledge was showing again. Thank god for the camera or we would never know what we saw. The birds were all shot at whiteadder burn about 20 miles from Edinburgh. They were all on or about the water and the land was covered in scrub and heather.
The first couple of pics are a pippet of some sort. We think! We got some great closeups of a meadow pippit and thought at the time this may be another one. The colouring and some of the marking are different so we thought we would ask the experts.
The next pics is we think a redshank. Sorry about the quality.
The next pics is a bit better but I can't get an ID from my book. The upturned tail doesn't appear on any of the waders in said book.
Thanks in advance.
