Their colours are so amazing and so varied, Snappy... I had a lot of blue in the one I saw yesterday!

Good spot amongst what was probably a large amount of similarly small and grey waders!! I've seen them at brownsea if I remember rightly. Had to look them up when I got home

Thanks PB. It was mostly redshanks and curlew, so anything else stood out.

Good capture Snappy . My very average ID skills would have missed that one.
