More Curlew Sandpipers.


Following on from  my post yesterday at just after midday the heavens opened and it was a wet afternoon but just after 5.00p.m. sun came out and I hastened down to the North Wall to improve on my earlier 'record' shots of the Curlew Sandpipers. The sun was fast disappearing but the light was superb and the water took on a golden glow ensuring I captured  some atmospheric shots of the Curlew Sands.




..in superb evening light!



This morning dawned bright and sunny, so down to the North wall again at 7.30 only to find Dave  already there with his latest piece of cutting edge equipment!

After 300 shots or so here are a few...
...drowsing.

...feeding

...bathing

...shaking and preening 
...and a humble Redshank ...never ignore the commoner species!

Another good Pagham morning...it really does take some beating!
