Wader Watching

This shows a number of different waders on Monk’s lagoon, Goldcliff spanning the period leading up to and during high tide on the 19th of October, 2020. Recording started in poor light gradually improving into bright sunshine. Is there a species I’ve missed? Please pause the video and scan. If there is a species I’ve not mentioned please put it in the comments and if it’s something unusual I’ll re-post the video with new annotation! Thanks!

Oh dễ thương quá ! T rất thích các loài chim ở đây. T thấy có Curlews mỏ dài nữa kìa. Và nhiều loài chim khác , nhưng Little Stint xinh xắn và nhỏ nhất nên dễ thương nhất. 😄💖

Lovely to see thanks for sharing, saw some lovely waders last week at Keyhaven here on the South coast 👍😀

Thank you! Keyhaven of Wilson’s Phalarope fame, as I’ve just been reminded on the British Facebook Birders group. Sounds like a great place!

@@johnluk Yes didn't get to see it myself Pennington mostly I believe ! Great place as long as the dog walkers keep off!

@@CamillaI I’ve been sabotaged by dog walkers a few times. Last year when recording Crossbills two ladies who could obviously see that I was on to something came right up and said ‘What are you photographing?’ Well I WAS recording Crossbills!!!! Bless them! 😳😬🤐🤬

Great stuff again John, very relaxing. Didn't really bother with Autumnwatch this year, all about the presenters as per..

[@johnluk]

Thanks Jonathan, I completely agree about Autumnwatch, Blue Peter for adults. There are so many amateur videographers, photographers and bloggers doing a better job of portraying the excitement of Autumn. I can’t understand why they have so much ‘packing’ filling in with conversation that as you say is more about the presenters when they could be tapping into the community for content.

@@johnluk Exactly, the minute silence bits are the best part of the show, right there but it doesn't seem to have sunk in! Much more relaxing & satisfying..

@@johnluk I think the tone is very patronising and it's aimed at an urban audience that knows nothing about wildlife.
