Sanderling |
Dunlin |
Only a few Knot mixed in the roost |
Turnstone on the change of plummage |
Apart from resting the sand-blasting meant keeping ones eyes closed |
The heavy seas began to bring ashore large numbers of jellyfish |
and as the tide turned these were left stranded and appeared to be a welcome snack |
It is easy to lose the sense of scale of these small birds |

Hi Geoff
Some lovely sanderling shots.
Great flight shots in your earlier blog.I was lucky to be able to stand up Monday p.m never mind taking photos well done
Regards MARTIN
Cheers Martin, it was 'a bit difficult' and pleased I managed some flight shots in focus... lots of images of heavy seas and out of focus subject! Breeding plummage is nice to see... mind you I do like Sanderling in winter plummage.
Best

A lot of birds there!
Geoff. Despite all the elements could throw at you plus the dog walkers Rossall came up trumps and you have got some great wader shots.
I find these wader roosts great places to have fun with the camera,always something going on...Excellent results Geoff..keep up the good work.
