@kupac1.bsky.socialOne more from today's shorebird smorgasbord... Red Knot (Calidris canutus). Also an uncommon passage bird in Hungary but this year there is more around than usual. #BirdingHungary #waders #shorebirds #sandpipers #WaderWednesday #BirdsSeenIn2026
@kupac1.bsky.socialAnother long distance traveller... Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea). One of several I saw today. #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #sandpipers #waders #shorebirds #WaderWednesday

@kupac1.bsky.socialA Dunlin doing the Dunlin thing. I think Dunkin's Donuts should change the name to Dunlin's Donuts. ð They would get a lot more birders in there! ð #BirdingHungary #shorebirds #waders #dunlin #sandpipers
@kupac1.bsky.socialSaw lots of these yesterday.. Dunlin (Calidris alpina). This is the commonest "peep" in Hungary. I guess that nickname for the small Calidris #sandpipers is only used in North America. Don't even know where the term comes from. ð #BirdingHungary #shorebirds #waders #dunlin
@kupac1.bsky.socialLittle Stint (Calidris minuta) at Lake Balaton today. This and North America's Least Sandpiper are the smallest #shorebirds in the world. #BirdingHungary #sandpipers #waders #peeps #BirdsSeenIn2026
@kupac1.bsky.socialThe south shore of Lake Balaton continues as a #birding hotspot right now thanks to low water levels. 20 species of #shorebirds today including a pair of Ruddy #Turnstones (Arenaria interpres). #BirdingHungary #waders #sandpipers
@kupac1.bsky.socialI think this Ruddy Turnstone (Arenaria interpres) was a little too ambitious. The stone was just too big and heavy for it to flip over. It needs to get in the gym! ðïļââïļ ð #BirdingHungary #turnstones #shorebirds #waders #sandpipers #FallMigration2026
@kupac1.bsky.socialCurlew Sandpipers, Dunlin and a Common Ringed Plover tanking up for their migration. ð #BirdingHungary #sandpipers #shorebirds #waders #FallMigration2026

@jancasavant.bsky.socialFor #WorldShorebirdsDay, here's a pair of #Willets wading through the Salt Pannes at Parker River National Wildlife Refuge during spring migration (Newburyport, Mass. - 5/16/26) ðĪĐðĪðĐĩ

@kupac1.bsky.socialPair of Sanderlings (Calidris alba) thru my scope. Best image I could manage with huge wind. You can see where the specific epithet comes from. One of them was so white it looked like a ghost! ðŧ ð Cameo appearance by a Dunlin. #BirdingHungary #WorldShorebirdsDay #shorebirds #sandpipers #waders
