Another rare bird which I don’t think I’ve published in this newsletter yet: Dunlin. I noticed this group from quite afar, because they were very close to the Grey Plover we have seen a few issues ago. I approached in stages, taking a dozen photos every 15–20 steps, and they let me get to about 10 metres away, at which point I took this photo and decided to leave them alone…
