Redshank - West Kirby

A day on the Wirral started with so much anticipation but ended up being a bit of a damp squib. I had high hopes of seeing lots of different things, but the weather put paid to that as the rain and wind came in. I only managed a few shots with the camera as it was too gloomy and wet.
These Redshank were sheltering on the rocks at West Kirby. They were getting battered all over the place by the wind coming in off the sea.


This guy didn't see the wave coming.

Whoops! There it is.

When do you think this winds going to stop then?


Huddled and hunched together into the wind.

  13. Pretty!! I love watching the birds along the shore and on the jetties. Sometimes they seem oblivious to the action of the waves. And enjoy it. Great photos.

  14. The wind finally stopped for us Adam. It was very bad for a week or more but nonetheless your pictures of Redshanks are remarkably good considering the wind and Redshanks' propensity for being hard to approach.
