They are already heading south but not in much hurry. They can even stay a while at this little pond behind a barn.

The Oystercatcher was a bird we saw almost everywhere in Scotland. Well, the area we visited. And heard. Because you heard them before you saw them. I did not know they were so talkative. Now I do. :)

Grönbena - Tringa glareola - Wood Sandpiper

NF Photo 120502 Bejershamn, Öland

Jag fick fråga expertisen om den här vadaren. Det är en grönbena: 
"Jepp!

Det är en grönbena, som redan har ruggat fram häckningsdräkten, vilken
skiljer sig från vinterdräkten, som de flesta grönbenor på vårflyttning
annars är i. Vissa individer får mer gult i sina gröngula ben under
häckningstiden.
Dessutom är just mjukdelarna mer färgvariabla än fjäderdräkten.
Helt klart en grönbena"

I was asking an expert from Ottenby what bird this was. Here is his answer:
" It is a Wood Sandpiper. It has already the breading plumage wichd is different from the winter plumage as msot wood sandpipers still have during migration. Soem individuals gets more yellow legs during breeding times. And the plumage is more colored.

De här ljungpiparna såg jag inte förrän en annan skådare påpekade att de var där. De rörde sig överhuvudtaget inte så jag hade trott de var jordhögar. Jag var ju inte så nära då. De vilade sig på väg norrut. 
These Golden Plovers was completely motionless so I did not see them until another birder showed me. I had thought it was lumps of dirt. I was not that close then. I was able to come rather close before I noticed I disturbed them. They are now up north somewhere.  :)
