The above image was taken at Lagoa Junco, Terceira, Azores, February 2011.
The 2 images below were taken at Anchorage, Alaska May 2010. I have only seen a few Greater Yellow Legs, the first was on the river Brue, Carlisle, October 94. Then it was a long barren spell until the individual in the below image at Anchorage, Alaska, June 2010 and then the next individual was the stunner above.
The Lesser above was taken at the Cabo da Praia quarry, Terciera, Azores, September 2011 and the set of images below were also taken at the Cabo da Praia quarry, Terciera, Azores February 2011.















I have seen many Lesser Yellow Legs but the exepetional observations include my first Lesser Yellow Legs I saw was with Lee Dingain at Farlington Marshes, Hampshire, September 1986, A sring bird at Cley in May 94? Thames estuary at East Tilbury, January 1999 and a count of 7 at Cabo Da Praia Quarry, Terceira, Azores, September 2011 where birds were litterally appearing to fly in off the sea and in to quarry calling constantly.
A really beautiful series of photos.
