I have been looking at this for a while as it is my screen saver,so I thought I would see what you think of it.I took it last November on a Kent beach,really beautiful day,and because there are so many dog walkers there each day the birds are quite happy for you to get close to them,theres a turn of events???

Looks good here.... which it should, I am in Kent :biggrin:

Really like this, the probing of the mussel is great and adds a lot of interest....

A guess from the light it was north/north west Kent?

I like the extra mussels in the foreground myself, they fit in nicely with its behaviour.
Great shot.
