A lapwing standing in short, vibrant green grass. From The Wildlife Trusts: Lapwings can be recognised by their long crests, black and white patterns, and very broad, round wingtips. From a distance, lapwings look black and white, but up-close, the back has an iridescent green and purple sheen.
For #BirdOfTheDay theme #Migratory, a northern lapwing, showing off their delicate crest.
Lapwings are partial migrants in the UK. While many choose to stay put, some travel to Ireland, France and Iberia, depending on where they’re nesting in the UK.

A photo of a Ruddy Turnstone - a wading bird. A boating lake was nearby, but it chose to come and say hello to me! As the name suggests, the Turnstone flicks stones with its bill to uncover hidden delights.
Ruddy Turnstone Arenaria interpres, from the family Scolopacidae. I was lucky enough to have spotted several of this perky characters, who'd made their home on a boating lake.

Do you work with breeding shorebirds? Do you collect FID data? Do you have data already or collecting data this year?
We are seeking data contributors for a new project investigating the diversity of nest defence strategies across breeding shorebirds.
Get in touch if interested!

A very long legged black-winged stilt and a much smaller common sandpiper together on the edge of a water tank
Good Day All. My offering for today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme of #OddCouples, a black-winged stilt and its cousin a common sandpiper. A very mismatched couple. #Birds #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #birdphotography #canon #photography #nature #naturephotography #wader #shorebird
three blackwinged stilts in flight; their long pink legs trailing behind them. The birds are softly reflected in the water they are flying over
Good Morning All. My offering for today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme of #Black&White is this view of black-winged stilts. A very elegant bird. #Birds #wildlifephotography #birdwatching #birdphotography #photography #nature #naturephotography #shorebird #wader

Spring comes early when you're #wader #shorebird nut. 🙌
Tonight's prize was this Jack Snipe in a south Cumbrian field! #ukbirding #birding #wader #cumbriabirds
Those feathers... looks like a sunrise cloud fell off the sky and is floating on the lake.

Grey Heron facing left its reflection visible in the water below.
Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Solitude.
From the archives: what I think was a willet reflected in wet sand on St Pete Beach in Florida at sunset.
