Crowding the rocks at the high tide roost at Blackness Castle

I, possibly, could have cloned out that pebble behind its beak but, to be honest, the least I have to do to present a photo, the better. You know me: I detest over-finished photos, especially when people rely too heavily on the sharpening tool which, to me, ruins the shot. I like to get it right in camera.

Just a few of the hundreds of gulls and waders feeding as the tide comes in at Dundalk Bay

Large numbers of small waders feed on the exposed mud flats of the Ria Formosa. However, when the tide comes in they retreat to the salt pans that line the Ria to rest and possibly sleep. This shot shows a flock of sanderling plus a few dunlin arriving at the Olhão salt pans.

I find it unusual for Pied Stilts to cluster. They are usually widely dispersed and, other than this small part of the flock, were so dispersed today too.
