The sun had barely come up, and the light was poor, but there were 3 of the little beauties all snuggled up on the rocks.
I wandered off to look at some Turnstones and when I came back they were on the move.
Let me know when that tide's coming in won't you

Purple Sandpipers - Sheringham
It's that time once again, when the Purple Sandpipers have returned to their wintering grounds in Norfolk. I look forward to putting my head over the wall at Sheringham early in the morning and looking down onto the rocks to find these lovely little birds. I was lucky enough to do this at the weekend whilst visiting my parents.

Fabilous photos, a bird I do not know. Well done Diane
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Adam. We don't get too many in flat Fylde.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures of a Purple Sandpiper, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHello Adam! Great photos of Purple sandpiper! Purple sandpiper breeding population in Finland is only 5 - 30 pairs. The best time to see them is migration time.
ReplyDeleteAwe...such cute little birds. Had never seen one and now through your photos makes me want to cuddle one. :) Thanks for sharing with Pictorial Tuesday.
