High Tide at Oare

The light wasn't very good, but the company was very pleasant!

This particular Ruff, Philomachus now within Calidris pugnax, was very neatly coloured, and with somewhat yellowish-green legs:

This bird shows a very scaly back, one of the characteristic features of the species. It is quite a warm peachy colour (still?). I wonder if it has been breeding up on the High Siberian Arctic.
