It’s been very hard to choose for the #BestOfTheMonth theme for today’s #BirdOfTheDay as our trip to Northumberland gave us such great views of waders, so I’ve chosen these two as it is also #WaderWednesday Another Sanderling (left) and a Dunlin (right) @robcrank68.bsky.social 🪶

A Green Sandpiper for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #EFG
#Birds #Waders #WadingBirds #nature #Wildlife #Birding #birdWatching #BirdPhotography
A small wading bird stands in shallow water near the edge of a lake, facing to the right. The Green Sandpiper is a greenish brown in colour with lighter coloued speckles. It was white underparts and rump, a long, slender, yellow/green bill, and long, thin, yellow/green legs. The bird's reflection can be seen in the water beneath it.

Nice image for your #BirdBuddies #BirdOfTheDay theme Helen. Dunnocks are small - until you see the Wren alongside! I spent a while watching lots of waders last week and this Dunlin and Ringed Plover fit with the theme.

Here’s a snowy egret strutting its stuff for a #Herons&Egrets Monday! #BirdOfTheDay #birds #waders #birdphotography #ECK 🪶
A snowy egret struts right to left in shallow water, with its right foot slightly lifted to show a bit of its yellow foot. A snowy egret flaps its wings a bit as it jumps from left to right in shallow water, showing a bit of its striking yellow feet. It did not take off, just moved to another spot to resume its search for food.

#BirdOfTheDay : Les hérons et aigrettes #Herons&Egrets
Un héron cendré qui jouait à "chope-grenouille" en mai dernier.
#Photography #Nature #Birds #BirdPhotography #GreyHeron #CoteDAzur #Waders
Au bord d'un lac dont la rive pentue est couverte d'herbes vertes, on voit un héron de profil, les pattes dans l'eau. Son bec est ouvert et on voit une grenouille au dos brunâtre comme sauter hors du bec. En réalité elle était déjà morte ou très mal en point et il était en train de la faire sauter dans son bec pour la changer de position.

A sleepy Avocet settled on the nest for today's #BirdOfTheDay theme of #BirdNaps 😍
#Birds 🪶 #Avocets #Waders #WadingBirds #Nature #Wildlife #Birding #BirdWatching #BirdPhotography
A sleepy Avocet settled on the nest, facing to the left, with its head turned back over its shoulder, beak tucked under its wing. The wading bird is white with a black crown and upper half of its face, and black marking around the edge of its wings and towards its tail. The bird has a black eye surrounded by a white ring which is gently closing as it falls asleep. The rather messy nest is built on the ground on a mud scrape and is made of mud and twigs.

A snowy egret jumps for joy after hearing that Rob’s main #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ItsAllWhite (except for the stylish yellow feet)! While it looks like it might be taking off, it dropped back into the shallow water and resumed its search for food. #birds #egrets #waders #birdphotography #ECK 🪶
A snowy egret, while routinely patrolling shallow water for food, suddenly spreads its wings out wide while facing the camera and starts to hop out of the water unexpectedly. The snowy egret continues its hop out of the shallow water, with its bright yellow feet going higher, but with its wings coming back in towards its body. It did not fly off. It dropped back, spun around and resumed searching for food.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay alt theme is #Blue
As a child avocets were still rare birds, colonising only after WW2 on eastern flooded marshes. Now they breed on many coastal areas in the U.K. Elegant and exotic even if they can be a bit aggressive to other waders.

Waders in the Dutch Wadden sea / steltlopers in de Waddenzee
Een groep steltlopers vliegt over de wadden terwijl in het ondiepe water ook honderden vogels foerageren. Het wordt eb en de dieren trekken vanaf hun hoogwatervluchtplaatsen naar de droogvallende slikken. Aan de horizon is een rij duinen van een Waddeneiland als een luchtspiegeling te zien. De foto is gemaakt met tegenlicht waardoor de vogels als silhouetten afsteken in een verder grijs-wit beeld. De Richel, Vlieland, augustus 2024.
