Remember this dapper Green Sandpiper we saw from the Grauwe Gans blind? Well, it took him/her some work to look that good. I snapped some shots of the bird having a good preen.

Very nice photos indeed. I always like seeing photos of the birds preening and yours are particularly beautiful with the reflections in the water.
Lovely series of shots!
Too bad it didn’t have a friend to help!
that is a very good serie of photos. Great shots all of them as well as a group.
Gorgeous shots of the Green Sandpiper Amy! It is fascinating to watch birds as they preen. How they can get to all those individual feathers never ceases to amaze me!
Preening is always very nice to watch – great series!
