A sight many people will die for I think. Really make us realise how lucky and privileged we are!!

And the four summ plum Spotted Reds and five or six Greater Yellowlegs are very nice too.

Seriously, there's clearly one Nordmann's two birds in front of the Egret and two at five o'clock to it. Where's the (possible?) fourth?

"Three-for-one special"

It's nice to get hours of harmless fun out of one photo !

At the risk of being pedantic I'd say that the original picture has three-and-one-tenth Nordmann's in it...  the bird cropped off at the left of the original (but included here) is a FOURTH Nordmann's.... which I'm guessing Paul spotted.

Of course there are Common Greenshank and Spotted Redshank, too.

Yes, Gary and Matthew, we ARE lucky to have Mai Po !
