Kind of wasted day - went out to get more photos (from better angle - if it can help with the ID of the Plover posted the last time). Instead there was a group of people there + two dogs. I just hope the Plover is not on it's way further South (Australia?!) and will return lately (they use to be territorial).
Instead got photos of two Cattle Egrets: first one clean and boring and the second one muddy but funny;)! After that Scaly-breasted Munia: They knew I'm there for a while but got scared by a girl with a tiny dog behind of me (I believe she stopped there just to check what the hell I'm taking photos of:mad:- that was the end of the session - I already needed some cold beer:LOL:)!

Great shots, ISv - balanced lighting & lots of sharp detail & blurry backgrounds!

Good photos but why Yellow legs (which one particularly?) - there are other sandpipers with an yellow legs... I would check for the Solitary Sandpiper (it also can have an yellow, not always greenish legs).
