Just got to Lakenheath, having a cuppa, and thought I'd still get my daily threesome in. Three wader shots from a trip to Rye Harbour last month.

Not the sharpest but it was taken right as the sun went below the hills on a quick stop off after work.

The first decent migrant within shooting distance for a while. Ken, hopefully a few more will turn up soon.

Not much about at Rye yesterday, off to Lakenheath this morning, so see y'all later.

This is a heavy crop, even at 826mm focal length, but it's in flight, and I don't have many of these birds in my gallery. Apart from once last year, I never get close to these birds at the Reservoirs. There's no bankside cover, and the banks of most of the Reservoirs are very high, so these see...

Found on the pebbled beach near one of the ferry harbours.

This Juvenile is just starting to change plumage

Love watching these guys bob along the resevoir margin but can never get close enough... Oh well
