Not very easy to sneak up on these guys so I laid down on the wet sand and stood as still as possible until they were close enough. Even worse was all the rocks jabbing into my ribs and the Horse Flies constantly gnawing at my ankles!:eek:;) I took about 175 images of them and kept maybe 40 or so. I'll start off with this one eating some kind of crustacean that they were digging out of the surf as the waves rolled in.
Thanks to Axel for the I.D. as I was confused with the breeding/non- breeding plumage.
Thanks for looking, All C/C appreciated.
