    Yellowlegs
    This evening I went out to a beach-bordering park to see if I could get some shots, there weren't too many birds around. But I did find several pairs of greater (I think) yellowlegs busily scurrying along the water line.

    One was particularly cooperative...

    These were taken in the evening, shortly before the sky erupted with evening colours. No flash.
