Whirling Waders, Snettisham
I went recently to see the whirling wader spectacle at RSPB Snettisham. This required a very early start to the day, cheered on by a glorious sunrise. As we walked from the car park to the shore line, thirty minutes away, we saw hundreds of geese overhead and wondered if we’d missed the display. Not so. As we got to the shore line, tens of thousands of birds took flight. The incoming high tide pushed them off the mudflats. As the tide receded, the birds all came back. It was totally mesmerising.
I took lots of photographs with the Canon EF 75-300 f4-5.6 111 zoom lens. I’m still struggling with the focus, so I ended up with half a dozen photographs I liked. I suppose that’s more than enough.
