Last time I had to move my hide farther, for there was no water in the pond except one little area. I hasn't been at my hide for weeks now, so today I got into it with excitement.
A wood sandpiper appears first, as it is moving on the small flies are rising in a flock from the ground. The sandpiper tries to catch them:

Suddenly a few green shanks land and the flies are rising in a flock around them:

They have time for a rest too:
