Nice capture in their breeding finery, always like to see these colourful waders.

They look beautiful. Nice to see them both together.

I mentioned in another ruff post that I thought the female might be called a reeve but was told that was not so.

I have since found out I was right..........I think!!

I love everything about these pictures except for the colour of the water. Is that ridiculous, or what?

Encyclopedia Brittanica says you're right Janice, that's good enough for me!

I have never ever seen a ruff or a reeve before. Good pictures Chippyfrank.
