Another visit to Bowling Green Marsh, #Exeter, #Devon over high tide and the mud was full of #Redshank, #Dunlin, #Godwit (mostly Black-tailed but a couple of Bar-tailed for good measure), #Curlew, #Whimbrel #Ruff, #Knot and three Kingfisher. The evening sun made for good light along with a pleasant group of people in the hide.

📷 #Kingfisher (a male I think as I couldn't see any red on the bill).

Bowling Green Marsh near #Exeter #Devon
It's a wader parade! There's at least one #Whimbrel amongst the #Curlew with a number of #Redshank at the end. The turn of the year!

22/7: Around the Exe estuary in Winter, we see a fair number of knot so it was good to see one with a bit of its summer plumage intact. In fact, today was the first time this summer that I've seen so many waders on the reserve. A sign, perhaps, that the season is turning already. Alongside the Knot, you can see #Curlew, #Redshank and #Dunlin

An early morning visit to Bowling Green Marsh, Devon to see what the high tide might bring. The sun was barely up and no one else was around. Peaceful.

I've a pet project at moment wrt #Redshank nos.
Watching their 'Temporary Feeding Territories'.
Not often forming on ebbs as more inclined to follow tide, from low tide onwards birds hold and defend small areas of mudflat, many close to shore. Shadowing neighbours along invisible boundaries, chasing off incomers, all great fun to watch.
(Project is whens/hows/whys of variable Redshank counts on #Medway in winter. Keeping me busy/happy!)

Two angles on a lone redshank in the sun on the bank of the Connswater River, East Belfast.
