Lodmoor Waders

 An evening visit to Lodmoor RSPB on the first day of a week long holiday in Weymouth was quite productive for three species of migrating waders.

Bar-tailed Godwits - approaching full summer plumage.

Whimbrel - Three were present when I arrived but took off calling loudly and
flew north into a fairly stiff breeze.

Wood Sandpiper - Busy feeding.

Above is a short video of the three wader species at Lodmoor.

Mediterranean and Black-headed Gulls - a few hundred were present
including a few Common Gulls.

Also seen on the reserve but not photographed were Redshanks, Oystercatchers, Little Egrets, and various Geese and Mute Swans.
