Purple Sand (Calidris maritima)

Going through our Norfolk/Suffolk Coast tour of November last year, I came across a couple of shots of these dull coloured little birds. This is full frame, as there were three of these tame little guys feeding on the seafront at Sheringham. And yes, its wet and windy here in Hastings today.

A great shot of a super little wader. We often get them at Ness Point in Lowestoft, the most easterly place in Britain. They must be tough little birds. Good one Mali.
