Venus Pool - Wader time!

News of a Ruff encouraged me to have another evening at VP - which looks awesome!! Every chance of a bumper passage performance here with the extent of muddy margins present.....

Seven species of wader seen and whilst the water is now distant - the Greenshank came within range! Excusae the poor light though!






Coming closer....










Here's the juvenile Ruff.....












Keeping company with a Dunlin!





Green Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper, Common Snipe and Lapwing made up the numbers....
