Hello - So what were these birds happily marching along in the edge of the waves about half a mile offshore today? The shot is on full zoom I'm afraid. They were goose sized and I was thinking Brent Geese - or maybe Cormorants? Or maybe something else. They had vivid white patches on the side. One of the birds appeared very white. Sometimes an individual bird would appear to puff out (or maybe spread its wings) - it really was a long way out. I have more shots but they are kinda similar! Cheers guys!

Many thanks - My usual experience of these is sitting on a post or rock teasing me by possibly being Shags.
