I don't have a favorite wader, but Common Ringed Plovers are definitely the cutest :-) I love everything about them and was extremely happy to catch one with a worm in its beak. 🥰 . #Baltrum, Germany.

The female curlew wasn't sure if she really wanted to land so close to me. But she did, and I tried not to breathe while taking her photo 😍. #Baltrum, Germany.

Die Große Brachvogeldame war sich nicht sicher, ob sie wirklich so nahe bei mir landen wollte. Doch sie tat es und ich versuchte, beim Fotografieren nicht zu atmen 😍.

There was a brief moment of enchantment as this beautiful Black Redstart sought shelter in our garden, fluffing itself up in a relaxed manner. But then the heavy storm and rain returned, and it flew away, hopefully to safety. Have a lovely Tuesday evening full #birds 🪶 #birdphotography #photography
