Here's another from the session on the beach. A lovely Ruddy Turnstone was fouraging for food on one of the wavebreakers early morning.

greetings,

That's a very productive beach you have there Jeroen

I like the unusual pose in this one.
Well done.

Geoff.

Nice warm light Jerone but after the excellence of the previous posts from this beach this one is hard pushed to compete.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments!
To Marcel: No, this is at IJmuiden. My Eider Duck was shot at Scheveningen the other day.

greetings,

Hi Jeroen, I'm not sure about this one.. I really like the way the subject has ben lit by the sunlight but I find the rock-platform a little to obtrusive for my liking.

Kind regards,

Brett
