I'm waiting in the hide for the actions to happen ... at the moment I can see that the birds are far from me.
Then two black-winged stilts are drawing on in the haze:

Soon other stilts are coming and a short jarring takes place:

They are crying, chasing and pecking each other, before one of the couples leaves, so the others calm down and continue searching for food:

Soon a spotted redshank appears, ...:

... then lapwings arrive but they are far from me.
The stilts are chasing each other again:

Meanwhile I observe the court of the little ringed plovers on the shore, unfortunately the surroundings is not so good.
A mallard is taking off a little farther:

Then common snipes are waddling in front of me:

Suddenly I catch sight of one of the black-tailed godwits which I longed for. It has just landed among the ruffs. After some time the godwit comes closer, unfortunately near the reed, so I can't photograph it well. The redshank and the spotted redshank however are at the right distance:

Soon the godwit gets on the right place:
