More Passage Waders

I was just returning from a shopping trip to Beaconsfield when news came through of two Avocets and a Green Sandpiper at Little Marlow GP.  So a quick bite to eat and off I set.  It was a good hour before I arrived but fortunately the birds were still present.  It is clearly a good time for passage waders with the Greenshank the previous day and other waders reported elsewhere.

Quite a few other birds were present including 3 adult Little Ringed Plovers, a pair of Oystercatchers, several Teal, a few Pochard, good numbers of Lapwing and several hundred Gulls.

As usual all of the birds were fairly distant and the quality of the photos reflects this.

Avocets - The pair feeding on the sand spit, unfortunately one end on.  Also Black-headed Gulls.

A crowded area.  Also with a Lapwing, Coot, Mallard, Common Tern and Teal

The Green Sandpiper was keeping to a quieter bit of the sand spit.
