My last bunch of birds before xmas

This first one is a bit sad, it's a greater flamingo that has been poluted with oil. I don't think it will survive for long in that state. I may offer the picture to enviromentalists to prevent this kind of thig happening.


This next one is a northern lapwing. I have never seen one this far south before but I'm told they are regular but scarce visitors.


Now for the rest.


Little stint


Juvenile ringed plover


Kentish plover enjoying a meal

Common sandpiper

You're not just a great photographer, Adrian, and of course a gentleman to boot....but you're a man with a heart!!

That first pic is very sad indeed. Hope they can save that poor flamingo and restore its colour back to Ed's favourite!!
