I see loads of these around here, usually in flocks, in fields, so I'd never have taken them for a wader!known by a variety of regional names, but still a lovely wader!
- Thanks Chris - Yep, waders they be, but their numbers are in decline due to loss of habitat (so you're lucky to see loads!)I see loads of these around here, usually in flocks, in fields, so I'd never have taken them for a wader! Every day's a school day! Nicely captured Russ
Although I see them to a greater or lesser extent, most of the year, There are certain fields around here that have flocks of 100+ But (Normally) in the spring.but their numbers are in decline due to loss of habitat (so you're lucky to see loads!)
