Another one for #WaderWednesday Common Redshank (Tringa totanus). Something about the early morning light just made its legs glow. ☀️😄 #BirdingHungary #waders #shorebirds #sandpipers #BirdsSeenIn2026
Rear view of Jack Snipe (Lymnocryptes minimus)... the smallest of the snipe family. Stripes on its head, back and tail perfectly match the colour of dried grass and reeds, allowing them to blend into their surroundings. #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #shorebirds #waders #WaderWednesday
Superb camouflage makes Jack Snipe (Lymnocryptes minimus) very hard to see on the ground. Thermal imaging cameras make them much easier to locate. That's how I found this nice specimen. 😀 #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #WaderWednesday #shorebirds #waders #snipe

A piping plover walks left to right along a dune, its feet hidden behind the sand, with its head slightly cocked to toward the camera. It has a white belly and grey/ brown wings. The background shows a layer of brown that is wet sand at the water’s edge, topped by blue of the ocean.

The Black-winged Stilt is truly one of the most elegant and eye-catching waders you can come across, almost like nature designed it with a sense of style.

Had a really great Woodcock Watch last night, including a coyote chorus at the end. Near the start, there was just enough ambient light to catch a bird headed up on his display flight. Volume up for Spring Peepers and Woodcock sounds!
