Today has been a very rich day in photos.
Getting up early again, I was taking photos of gulls at around 5:30:

I could witness their nuptial activity as well. After some prodding the male gave the female a fish:

Then my attention was attracted by other birds and when I looked at the gulls again they were mating already:

The wind was blowing so this dunlin has been recorded among waves:

The white-winged black terns played a role as well:

The avocets were moving intensely around the hide:

Then a caught sight of some kind of plover which I haven't seen before. It was picking food further then it came closer. I only figured out at home that it was a turnstone:

Later the lapwings arrived:

This redshank was running perhaps after its mate:
