Default Abu Dhabi - waders

Little Stints showing again today. Not sure if there was a Dunlin as well. Others were Terek Sandpiper, Common Sandpiper, Turnstone and Whimbrel.

Thanks Peter and Judith. The weather is perfect at the moment - mid 20's during the day, but a bit chilly early morning and evening.

Another pic from yesterday.

Little Stints still around today, also several turnstones and a single greenshank

Whimbrel and Greenshank showing well today. The Whimbrel looks small next to the gull!

Grey Plovers (2) and Little Stints (2) still about.
