D'you know, these poor birds are much maligned, yet I find them to be very attractive . I think you've caught this group perfectly, with a variety of poses. I love it! I could possibly do without the oystercatchers though.

Hi Major,

Nice shot! I quite like the three Turnstones pottering around at the back, gives added interest. Lovely light!
