Ruff (Calidris pugnax). ♂️ Ruffs are one of the largest Calidrids, but the sexual dimorphism of the species is shocking. A big male can easily be double the size of a female. #BirdingHungary #shorebirds #waders #sandpipers

Eurasian Stone-curlew is a rare visitor to our home county of #Worcestershire. So when one turned up near Upton upon Severn, it generated plenty of interest amongst local #birders. See our latest video for more 🔽 youtu.be/WQA2RsIHcd4?... #WaderWednesday #WorcsBirds @waderquest.bsky.social

I do enjoy a bird that brings feather detail to life. Wilson’s Snipe certainly are birds that do that.This individual was very popular on #IOS this week gracing Lower Moors Pool often with a Jack Snipe,which it chased off. #UKBirding @rarebirder.bsky.social @waderquest.bsky.social #educationalbird

The latest 2026 UK waterbird statistics provide a fascinating mixed picture. Some waders are doing well. But there are serious concerns too. Be #inspired by #waders or #shorebirds #wildlife #conservation #charity
