I had a spare afternoon and checked out one of the local beaches. No car today so I had to take the train and lighter shorter lens.
Not much around: just a handful of Red-necked Stint, by far the commonest autumn shorebird in these parts.
Last week near my apartment there were a couple of Black-crowned Night Herons in the riverside vegetation and a few Asian Brown Flycatcher flitting around in the trees……………
Still, Red-necked Stints are attractive little beasts !
They are often the only wader species on days like these. I love them, always used to be excited when the very similar Little Stints passed through Preston back in the day.
