Sandwitch Tern
One from last week just the other side of Southport at this time of year we get quite good numbers roosting on the beach as the tide comes in.

These are taken quite a way out as the tide was only 8m around 10 AM the weather was very sunny and very warm, I went out on a couple of consecutive days as the tide and weather conditions were perfect they were vast numbers of grey & golden plover, dunlin, knot,(some still in breeding plumage) sanderling,turnstones, black & bar tailed godwit it can be quite a good day out.

Hi Phil,

Nice shot, I like the portrait format with the raised wings and the inclusion of the sea. Nice to hear there are good migrating numbers!

Cheers,

Lewis.
