Hi Everybody
I saw Ian Cunningham just the
other day and he was showing me lots of his stunning photos so I reminded him it
was a while since our members saw any of these! Ian has responded with
the following email and photos of less common waders -
Bar-tailed Godwit (I love this photo as the bird really means
business), a Knot and finally two Ruffs. Many
thanks to Ian for these pics and we look forward to many more!
Hi Pauline,

A few waders for the collection!  Found a pair of ruff on the shore at
Echnaloch Bay...not the sort of place you would expect to find them.  There was
a nice knot in among a large flock of turnstones down at Burwick and a very
purposeful bar-tailed godwit striding across Mill Sands.
