At Donna Nook last weekend I saw my very first Sanderling (at least I believe it is! let me know if it isn't). About half a dozen flew in, ran like lightning across the sand and flew off. They were smaller than I thought and a lot quicker.

Very nice - captured in mid stride too! Crop works well.

Lovely shot. I like the lighting and in particular the eye effect.

the lighting is great, very effective and I like the fact the bird is mid-stride. A very nice shot.

lighting makes it well done and good perspective nice to see your not afraid to get a bit wet!

Also like the mid-stride capture - fits perfectly with your narrative about their behaviour

Cracker Robert - and as Magnus mentioned, the mid-stride makes it a bit special

Very nice and well captured shot, light looks perfect & I love the eye contact.

nice shot. I believe I was there at the same time but was a bit disappointed by the sand storms and intermittent snow/rain spoiling some shots. Hope you did a bit better than my images.
