    Thanks Susan. I'm not all that talented I just point the camera and pray :56:It helps when you live in a place like this as the scenery is never the same two days running and there's so many sea going birds. I think that I need a more powerful camera though as sometimes my images are blurry. I was just telling someone this morning that I had never even heard of half these birds and now I'm telling other people :56:

    There's almost as many Oyster Catchers here as there are seagulls :56: I'm pleased to have evoked a good memory of your dad :50:

    They were making a racket and were close to loads of Oyster Catchers so I assumed they were their young. Mind you I did wonder about the long legs :56:

    Lovely bird. I saw some unusual white and coloured ducks last week and I didn't have the camera out. I've been looking for them since.
