One of my favourite shots - I made it 16 Redshanks.
IE - 32 red shanks? (really orange shanks)
All in a row. On Cellardyke pier.
The relatively shallow DOF shows easily at this medium range, with focus placed @ group middle
Later these little foraging birds were scared from pillar to post by groups of humans intruding noisily and vocally - closely into the Redshanks foraging territory at the water's edge in the tiny harbour, till the little flock upped and offed and left the harbour.
Too many people - and their dogs....! Who appeared to have little regard for the birds who clearly were there to feed at the receding margins as the ebb continued. And which never happened. Never before seen such numbers of noisy mobile humans at Cellardyke....
