Black-winged Stilts!

On Thursday 16/04/2020 a pair of Black-winged Stilts spent the day at Dengemarsh. They most of the day roosting on a patch of floating weed before departing over night.
 My first sight of them on Dengemarsh Flood, then they took off and disappeared
 They relocated to the back of Dengemarsh for a few minutes before moving to hay field 3

 They only spent a few minutes feeding on Hayfield 3, before moving to the floating weed.

 On the floating weed with a noisy pair of Oystercatchers and a Redshank
 This is where they spent the day till early evening at least
 To photograph them I had to wait for the wind to part the reeds

 My last view of them
