Amongst all the Yellow, Pied and White wagtails we've also had quite a few Greys about. Some of them may be from further afield than our own Axe & Coly birds. This 1st Winter was by the Island hide on BHM. We've also had more than one Curlew Sandpiper but not always together. One of them seemed to have 'palled up' with a Dunlin yet we had 2 together one evening. Possibly 3 in total?

The Ruff, or Reeve in this case, must be a female as she seems unimpressed with the Redshank's antics...

And finally, a nod to the humble Dunlin. We've had lots of variety with
schinzii & alpina plus some odd-looking ones. They're easy to overlook, dotted about the marsh like this. But 'The Hole' wouldn't be the same without them...
