Another bird on the beach in the rain!

and more from the Nth Norfolk coast

It was great watching the young Ringos foraging, then scuttling back to the safety of the adult bird. Has anyone seen Ron(No Spring Chicken)? I think he posted some shots like this un last year.

Well folks, We bussed it to Rye Harbour yesterday. It was really windy, and mainly overcast for most of the four hours we were there. There really wasn't much about at all, especially at close quarters, so a few Wader habitat shots, and a few Tern shots was about the order of the day.

Just for Marian one of the chicks

Its been hot here today, I managed to get some shots of this Ringed Plover, and its family they have two chicks.

Ringed Plover

Thought it had a certain charm but 800 x 600 pixels might be too few in this case.

Got this shot yesterday near the Little tern colony at Gronant N,Wales

Taken in late evening sunshine after a day of intermittent rain and cold N/E wind with short spells of sunshine.

Usually shots taken of this bird prev ,have been looking into the face of the bird,but this was a different angle and shows quite a close up of his face.

Another shot of this little un, taken at Rye Harbour on wednesday.

Another shot from yesterdays trip to Rye Harbour. This little fella landed in front of the hide, and every time the shutter clicked it would come closer and have a listen as to where the sound was coming from.

Or perhaps she is just giving him a piggy back across those rough stones.!!! Feel quite guilty re taking this shot,as it is invading the privacy of this pair,but I spotted them sitting a few yards apart,then it all happened so suddenly.Afterwards,she threw him off her back,she sat...
