Spotted Redshanks and Waterrail

 With good day of North east winds and a very low water level , Lough Atedaun is showing a lot of Birdlife. 2 Spotted Redshanks a rarety at this site were with a small flock of 8 Ruff.

The low water also tempted Waterrails out into the open, a bird we often  listen to but seldom see.

I came back the next day ! Spotted Redshank remained with Ruff but distant a Green Sandpiper made its way along the southside and 2 Kingfishers were on chase
