Hoylake continued....

I've come to the conclusion that waders are my favourite type of bird. So many different varieties, but all subtly different. So, I've posted some more shots from Hoylake for you below.

Swirling flock of Knot and a rogue Black tailed Godwit.


The Black tailed Godwit (top) and Knot.



Redshanks. Of which there were hundreds.

Oystercatcher in flight, with some Shelduck in the distance.

Grey Plover (the larger bird, 4th from the left) with Dunlin and Redshank.

Ringed Plover.

    Great series of captures, Adam. I sometimes see spur-winged Plovers here, which are very aggressive in the breeding season! (Thanks for dropping by my blog). Wishing you a fabulous week.

    Nice set of pictures - I often wonder whats happening when you get one lone individual of the 'wrong' species in a flock of birds - lost?

    The peregrine in the post before would have been a great sight.
