Dunlin, Water Rail and Snipe

Dunlin, Calidris alpina
Thursday, Friday and Saturday found me at Arundel WWt again with much time spent at the Sand Martin hide waiting for a Kingfisher to land in front of me. Some hope! I saw Kingfishers most days shooting across the lake in various directions. The highlight was seeing a Dunlin appear along the lakeside on Friday. On Saturday the Water Rail appeared again. I moved on to the Ramsar hide and a Snipe posed in front of me.
