HAYLE ESTUARY 10/11/2010

Have not been very active over the last week, only managed to get out a couple of times and the photo opportunities were non existent due to dull weather and the lack of things to photograph.

Still this morning was very nice sunny with a few passing showers, so I drove down to Hayle Estuary for a couple of hours. After sheltering from a very heavy shower, the Sun came out and the tide was just starting to go out and birds were moving back onto the mud for feeding.
Everything has greatly increased in numbers with good flocks of Widgeon, Teal,Lapwings, Gulls and Geese.
So There will be plenty of chances for photo's over the coming winter, so below are a selection of this mornings efforts.





CURLEW.




GREY HERON.




GREYLAG GEESE.



LAPWING.





LITTLE EGRET.



OYSTERCATCHER.
