A cold morning at the beach in Norfolk during the winter months always throws up some good birds. These were taken at the start of this year, when it was cold, but not as cold as it is here right now.
There were some Pintail on a pool at Cley, and on the sea were several Red-breasted Mergansers. The beach held all sorts of waders, with Oystercatchers, Dunlin, Sanderling, Plovers and Curlew. Geese were flying overhead making lots of noise, just in case I hadn't noticed the vast numbers with my own eyes. The sun had not been long in the sky, so it made for some very nice light.

ReplyDeleteWhat a nice assortment of birds. Love the Pintails.
ReplyDeleteWonderful captures! Pintails have arrived here too.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I hope you had a lovely Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGreat series of pictures, Adam. Pintail is surely the most elegant of all ducks; others may be more colourful, more beautiful perhaps, but nothing quite matches the bespoke stylishness of a Pintail.
