This will remain one of those birding days that I will not forget.
Here are a few photos of the event.
Both together on the puddle.

Great, surreal experience John- I would have enjoyed that too! Nice photos. I rememember seeing a collection of waders in a car park puddle at Walton-on -the- Naze many years ago with at least 3 species including Ruff.
