Wader Time Again
Not many waders around at this time of year. Winter is not a good time to count waders at Mullen's with low tides and cold water to walk through to get to the site. Still and all, 11 Species totaling 96 individual birds is not bad. With showers hanging around I was debating whether to take the camera or not; just as well I had a raincoat for it!

Great photos - I'm glad you took your camera and its "raincoat". How about a photo of that next time??
The double-banded plovers look like they are wearing designer clothes!
Lovely birds.
Lovely to see the wild birds in action in rainy weather. Love all the textures in these photos. And the birds seem to blend in so well.
I'm amazed that you could see them, let alone count them! Nice shots.
Not only are the Plovers beautiful, I really like that sea grass...type of growth going on there, lovely colouration against th feather colours~
Great shots considering it was raining.
The Plovers are beautiful even in the rain. Great shots!
