A flock of five ruff on the spit today were my 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th individuals the flash. They all look like females to me, but only the bird in the photo above has bright orange legs, the rest had dull legs, and I did wonder if she was an adult with four offspring. She's certainly a smart looking bird, I love the dark speckling on the side of her breast which extends onto her flanks.
Also still around is the tufted duck with a nasal saddle.
