    Enjoyed. You fellows/fellas who know the names of all these birds amaze me. (I forget my wife's name)

    Superb set of images, best shot I have seen of the American Golden Plover but I really like the face off between the Barwits.

    I'm sorry to see that the Purple Heron wasn't cooperating, John, but you absolutely nailed it with that second AGP image - wonderful! However, I'm going to pick two particular favourites - the image with the two Barwits because of its perfection and the action it captures, and the image with the Blackwit looking on with disdain at the two Redshank (again, perfection!). The others are not very far behind, however - all are superb.

    My best wishes to you and Sue - - - Richard

    Brilliant AGP shots. Lovely to see close up to appreciate the detail.

    Great images John, good to catch up at Sennen, shame the Raptors spooked the AGP and Ruffs, just as I was about to grab a few shots.
    CU SOON.

    Whole beautiful pictures and the purple heron is really a beautiful heron.
    The various plovers are great to see. In the Netherlands we are not against them and that's why blogging is so fun. I see here beautiful birds pass by. The Tureluur, Grutto and other birds have put you in a beautiful and bright picture.
    Regards, Helma
