There was also a Bluethroat on site which was an added bonus. Unfortunately the White-tailed Lapwing spent most of its time distantly, on a small island viewable from Townend Hide. I managed a couple of flight shots, and one reasonable image of it resting. Other birds of note were a number of Shoveler, a single Spotted Redshank, 3 Little Egret, 6 Black-tailed Godwit, c30 Ruff, c 10 Green Sandpiper, several Snipe and a fly by Marsh Harrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"467\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-1-_43A9599-467x700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-1-_43A9599-467x700.jpg 467w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-1-_43A9599-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-1-_43A9599-100x150.jpg 100w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-1-_43A9599-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-1-_43A9599-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-1-_43A9599.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 467px) 100vw, 467px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9526-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9526-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9526-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9526-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9526-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9526-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9526.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9515-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9515-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9515-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9515-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9515-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9515-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/White-tailed-Plover-_43A9515.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Bluethroat-_43A9833-700x467.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Bluethroat-_43A9833-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Bluethroat-_43A9833-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Bluethroat-_43A9833-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Bluethroat-_43A9833-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Bluethroat-_43A9833-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.simplybirdsandmoths.co.uk\/sbam\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Bluethroat-_43A9833.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption>Bluethroat &#8211;
