Ringed Plovers

 

Three stunning Ringed Plovers this morning, busy feeding along the waters edge

RSPB Blacktoft Sands with a couple of Little Stints and a wader fest !

 

A cracking morning visit to Blacktoft Sands. Not very often we get things spot on but today we certainly did. The mud infront of Singleton Hide was absolutely covered in waders and with the tide in, they were not going anywhere !

Ruffs, dunlin,  ringed plovers, curlew sandpipers and a couple of little stints,  it doesn't come much better than that!
