There was a large mixed flock of small shorebirds at East Beach, Fort DeSoto Park. There were adult and juvenile, male and female, winter and breeding plumages of many species, which made identification a heavy task as they all scurried, flew, or turned away. But there were a few Ruddy Turnstones (as in the picture) that, true to their name, were engaged in turning things over, looking for breakfast morsels.
Sanderlings are the "whitest" of the peeps, especially in their winter plumage. There was a small group of Sanderlings at East Beach, Fort DeSoto, Florida. Some were transitioning to summer colors, but not this guy.
There weren't many stones to be unturned, but there was a lot of "seaweed" lining the beaches at Fort De Soto, Florida. So the Ruddy Turnstones did what they do best--turn stuff, including piles of seaweeds, searching for insects or small invertebrates.
The Shoeburyness Boom (also known as the Sheerness Boom, Thames Boom or Thames Estuary Boom) refers to two defensive barriers erected across the Thames Estuary in the mid-20th century. The first example was built in 1939 during the Second World War to protect shipping from attack by submarines, mines and surface vessels, with the second being built between 1950 and 1953 to prevent access to the estuary by Soviet submarines during the Cold War.

Up and down, up and down rhythmically. That's how they feed, often compared to the motion of a sewing machine. They move their bills up and down probing the shallow coastal waters searching for insects.
This pair was among a large flock of Short-billed Dowitchers on the shore of East Beach, Fort DeSoto, Florida.

There were a small number of Semipalmated Plovers separated in a mixed flock of several hundred shorebirds at Fort De Soto, Florida.Though they seemingly were not wary of the camera, they were difficult to photograph in the brilliant sunlight.
During sunrise at East Beach on Galveston Island. The waves coming over the cement barrier were catching the golden sun rays and creating a dazzling display of gold bokeh in the background.
Stretching from the golf links to the lighthouse, Port Fairy bay has east beach. This panorama was taken late afternoon in Winter, as the tide was going out.
Adding a nice touch was the splash of colour of the rainbow.
Plenty of time at the moment to edit, not only old photos I have never got round to editing, but also tweaks on some old favourites. A previously uploaded long exposure image using an ND filter in Essex, England.
