A selection of migratory shore birds that visit a local beach near my home from as far away as Siberia. All images taken in around 2 hours on Friday Janaury 9, 2026.

Nicely put together.

Also nice the birds co-operated and stayed still long enough to get the images

Thank you, the best time is the rising tide in the morning. The birds are busy preening and feeding and a slow, gradual creep up allows me to get closer. If you move slowly, the larger birds are more accepting but the smaller birds are always more flighty.
