Awoke to a lovely sunny morning yesterday, and after checking the forecast which said heavy rain on Sunday decided to head off to Marazion for a spot of bird watching.
One big reason for going was that a couple of scarce waders had been reported ie: a Buff Breasted Sandpiper and a Baird's Sandpiper.
Arriving at Marazion it seemed the recent Southerly storms had washed lots of seedweed onto the beach, and this had brought large numbers of waders to feed.
Just a little way on the beach was a local birder John who was videoing the Buff Breasted Sandpiper.
So to cut things short I spent the next couple of hours taking over 200 shots of various species, but sadly the Baird's Sandpiper was not relocated.
Anyway below are a few images from the mornings shoot.

Your images are wonderful! I spend a lot of time at the shore observing the migrating populations, but have never been able to capture them quite as well.
ReplyDeleteFantastic images love the Buff Breasted Sandpiper images great stuff. Wish I was there but work prevents me from returning at present.
