Waders all seen from around the first shelter where a strip of sandy beach remains even at the higher tides, one of only a few places uncovered where a varied group of waders feed and roost. If you approach slowly along the sea wall and stand still the birds will practically ignore you and even if they fly off when someone peers over to see what you're watching, they'll return almost right away. I found the best viewing time was when high tide was around 1700 hrs when the people who let their dogs toilet on the beach are absent. Lazy sods who assume the deposits will be washed away so they don't have to pick it up.
Flight shots first.
