Purple Sandpipers increasing at Arbroath

The largest number I've seen this year, 18 Purple Sandpipers on the high tide at Inchcape Park, Arbroath. More important was a Jack Snipe at Elliot which was flushed for a few metres in one of the flooded areas and then left in peace. It was raining and all I got was a blurred spot on the single photo attempt.

Not good conditions but a photo at high iso until the sun comes back
