As waders (shorebirds to my American and Canadian friends) go, Purple Sandpiper has to be my favourite.

Most #shorebirds have pointy wings. But not the #lapwings. This Northern Lapwing (Vanellus vanellus) shows off its big, rounded "frying-pan" wings. ๐ #BirdingHungary #WaderWednesday #plovers #waders
