Sanderling fly past
I recently spent a day on the coast working with sanderlings. One particularly belligerent character occasionally chased of any other sanderlings and just once turned to dive bombing an unsuspecting individual, which ended up with mud on his face!!

Hi Paul, nice shot to get both birds in focus telling a small story of nature. Pretty good. :smile:

W :eek: W Paul this one is a bit special, great action and both birds sharp - love it. Does it need a little cloakwork rotation or is the bird on sloping sand!

Cracking action shot Paul, well exposed and sharp, though needs a bit of CW rotation.

Excellent! This would be good with only one bird, but to get two in focus is superb.

Right out of the top draw, quite superb, no crit's.

Very nice. It's a tricky one because I think if you did rotate it then the top half of the image will look out of kilter!

Excellent - I think a small anount of CW rotation would work.

Excellent image Paul... don't think it does need any rotation, great action captured.
