Afternoon delight

I had finished my work party duties and was on my way to pick up family from Heathrow, when Brian called saying "2 Ringed Plover SW corner".....I passed my message to my wife that "I hope they stay".

Some 2 hours later and I got to Lea Farm around 17:00, both adult Ringed Plover still looking very happy on the middle spit of the SW corner and we can call it a proper waderfest by our standards, with 4 Green Sandpiper, 6 Common Sandpiper, 2 juv Little Ringed Plover and 2 Greenshank, all showing very well, not forgetting the c100 Lapwing. Any 6 wader species day is a great one at DP.

Shame I didn't bring my iPhone adapter to get sharper shots when the Greenshank were just to the near right of Ron's hide
