Next up for #WaderWednesday is the Lapwing who was hanging around at the edge of the water, waiting patiently for me to take my photos.

The waders appreciated a bit of sun today and seemed to be feeding well despite the icy conditions 😁 @nosterfieldnr.bsky.social @nybirdnews.bsky.social

Northern winters are our delight. Greenshank share their roost with a solitary but more numerous Redshank. The breeding range of both species occurring here is unknown, as is the case with with most waders that occur in the Gulf on migration. Oh for some satellite tags

Cracking views of Spotted Redshank as I north of Dunwich this morning with an old friend, Mark Smith; over 61 Snow Bunting were good, but not as good as these superb waders #suffolkbirding #ukbirding

Winter sun going down and the waders starting to settle in for supper at our local quay. Lots of lapwings around which is nice to see.

Purple Sandpipers have little competition where they make their living. Breaking waves on the rock jetties at Coney Island rarely discourage their foraging for food #birds #birdsNYC #shorebirds
