Nordic Waders at the Guadalhorce

September 27 2016


Dear reader!

The Nordic waders take rest on their long journey from the high north to their wintering grounds. "Welcome!" I rather wanted to call out to them!

Little stints and Grey plovers in size comparison:

The young Grey plover …

… was posing to our great joy …

… played with a feather and …

….went foraging:

What a beautiful bird!

The Ruff was suspiciously eyed by the native Stilt:

Tired from the long journey, they had rested the whole afternoon and …

… went now foraging:

Just SO beautiful …

… to be able to observe these terrific guests from the high north in such a peaceful atmosphere!

These wings have carried the Ruff already thousands of miles::

Well, and than the Bar-taied godwit …

… of course also foraging:

While making the photos from these Birds …

… every time the thought touches me, that …

… they had to make thousands of miles to this place in southern Spain and …

… again in springtime same distance in the other direction to …

… arrive in the high north at their breeding sites. What a great performance!

Best regards
