Soggy crested tit, Kolka, Latvia 🇱🇻
Downpour at dawn, but then some rewards as I walked the beach, Baltic Sea to Gulf of Riga and back. 😊 #birds #birdsoflatvia

Broad-billed sandpiper, Mangalsala, Riga City, Latvia 🇱🇻. One of several different waders dropping in on the breakwater this lunchtime. My best ever views of one, having seen my first in Hungary in May. @waderquest.bsky.social

Little stint, Lielupe Estuary, Jürmala, Latvia 🇱🇻. Seeing as there appears to be an influx in North Yorkshire, here’s one of two yesterday amongst the shoreline seaweed. #birds #birdsoflatvia @waderquest.bsky.social

Temminck’s stint, Lielupe Estuary, Jürmala, Latvia 🇱🇻
Amongst a small group of waders, after hiking through the woods and dunes to reach the shoreline. Confiding in the brilliant lunchtime sunshine. #birds #birdsoflatvia @waderquest.bsky.social

Long-tailed skua, Mangalsala, Riga, Latvia 🇱🇻. Wish I’d spent a bit more time on this juvenile out in the field, as I initially just assumed is was Arctic and grabbed some record shots. Not until reached a cafe and looked more carefully … 🌍 Life ✅ #1212 #birds #birdsoflatvia
