One 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

Another long distance traveller... Curlew Sandpiper (Calidris ferruginea). One of several I saw today. #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #sandpipers #waders #shorebirds #WaderWednesday

One of my fav #shorebirds ... Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica) in the morning sun. Uncommon passage bird in Hungary. The ones in Europe don't migrate quite as far as the Pacific version, but still an impressive traveller. #BirdingHungary #BirdsSeenIn2026 #WaderWednesday #waders #godwits

Happy Plover Appreciation Day!
Don’t be deceived. Plovers are the coolest birds. Even they know it.
Pretending to be injured is just one of their deception strategies to enhance their breeding success. If you’ve fallen for it, you’re a poor predator #PloverAppreciationDay #shorebirds #waders

A greater yellowlegs stands in for the ALT #BirdyLongLegs theme thanks to its name and flashy look. #BirdOfTheDay #birds #shorebirds #waders #birdphotography #ECK 🪶

Today is Plover appreciation day!
The family Charadriidae is very large with 70 species listed and is split into 3 subfamilies.

Guiding yesterday at Snettisham RSPB for the wader spectacular and what a morning! So many birds to be seen and if you haven't been, it's worth visiting. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #norfolkbirding #birds #birding #ukbirding #waders @britishnatureguide.bsky.social @tonyrinaud.bsky.social

Well I tried- but the locals wouldn't let them settle long enough for me to scope through the flock 😅 #Waders #Highlandbirds #Mammals

1. Beach Stone-Curlew
2. Barred Buttonquail

Representatives or two of the more unusual looking shorebird families.

The Beach Stone-Curlew was especially fun, look at that beak!
