One of Europe's loveliest waders, and one I'd wanted to see for a long time! Next time I hope to catch one in their stunning breeding plumage! Posted 3 years ago

  Thanks :)
  There was only a really slim chance of spotting this species on that trip, so I was quite flabbergasted to run into them not once, but twice! Posted 3 years ago

    Incredible. They must have heard you were there and wanted to make an appearance for you. ;) Posted 3 years ago

The Eurasian dotterel
