Some new arrivals in Wader shore.
A new species arrived in Wader shore 2 weeks ago...
These lovely black-winged stilts were hatched in 2011 and are looking to spend their first winter in with the Avocet and Redshank. Hatched from different clutches, the female appears much younger than the male. Their legs really are just so very delicate; they do make me feel nervous when they take to the air!
We are all of us looking forward to learning so much more about all of the wader species as we come into the season.
