These Waders breed in Iceland and spend the winter in the UK.  They are so great to see around our wetlands.

July 2014 Migrants and Juveniles

I seem to think that this has been a good year for breeding birds, there seems to be lots of new fledglings around.  Also the migrants are much in evidence.
