Waders on the move - Vadefugl på vandring

For some of the waders breeding season is already history in 2011. The first week of August several tens of Spotted Sandpipers, Ruffs and other birds are gathering for their migration to Africa.
For noen av vaderne er hekkesesongen over og sotsniper, brushaner og andre arter ses i 10-talls antall i flokker på vei sørover.
