Red-kneed Dotterel (16/18)

CHARADRIIFORMES: Charadriidae

Erythrogonys cinctus  

After wandering about my local saltfield I decided to position myself close to the mud and wait for the waders to forget I was there in the hope they would approach for closer photos.

I must have looked a sight, laying on my tummy arms in the mud, covered in grass, mud and invertebrates.. thankfully it worked and this bird approached without any concern!
