Ruff

A quiet afternoon at Reifel visitor wise, but there were a few interesting birds around. Sightings from earlier included a Ruff, Red-necked Phalarope and Green Heron.

First up was the Ruff in the west field. This appears to be the same escapee first seen at Boundary Bay just over a month ago.

The same three bands high on the left leg and two low on the right. Next was the Red-necked Phalarope and while I did get to see it, it was too far off for photos.
