Spring is slowly upon us and I can't wait to get back into the North York Moors National Park to hear the beautiful sound of the Curlew. When I hear them calling across the valleys it is this call that announces for me that spring is finally here #curlew #spring #northyorkmoors

Snipe in flight! 😍 Taken recently at RSPB Greylake in Somerset. 🐦😊

We're on the road again, travelling around important areas for waders in Scotland as part of work to understand how and where future resources need to be targeted. Great enthusiasm on the ground, but some major challenges ahead! #Curlew #Lapwing

A tiny stamp can help protect one of nature’s greatest travellers. Shorebirds migrate thousands of miles each year, relying on fragile coastal habitats to survive their journey. Shorebird stamps raise awareness about these incredible species. #inspired by #waders or #shorebirds

@waderquest Spent a wonderful few hours last summer in a water level hide watching these beauties. My photo isn't as talented as Rick's artwork, but... #WadersRock

This Common Greenshank that I photographed at Sachana Beach, Jamnagar, #Gujarat last month was originally ringed just down the road at Khijadiya Bird Sanctuary on 23rd February 2020 per @BNHSIndia. #WaderWednesday #IndiAves #BirdsSeenIn2026 #India

@RobertaBirder Thank you for your kindness Roberta😊these are truly wonderful birds, even among our glorious waders they stand out. Your image is a classic, one leg tucked up, preparing to snooze.
