Another Waderfest at Draycote.

The weather had forced me to stay indoors on both Friday and Saturday so,when the it looked much better on Sunday morning,I raced over to the only local patch that was on form Draycote Water arriving pretty early for me at just after 8.00AM.

I headed straight away to the Hensborough bank where the foreshore there last Thursday had loads of waders on show.It was the same on Sunday morning with the rocky foreshore from the start of the wall right up to the outlet being the place where the waders were showing again including numerous Ringed/Little Ringed Plovers, 3+ Common Sandpipers, 4 Dunlin, 2 Ruff and 2 Turnstones.

Here are a few shots of the Ruffs incl. my attempts of flight shots.

Here are some shots of the Turnstone which I found tricky to get a decent shot off maybe because it was very bright well that's my excuse).

Here are some shots of the other waders that were worth keeping.
