Unfortunately we got there when the tide was at its lowest so any birds were really distant, it was still a lovely place and day for a walk though. We could hear the Curlew with their evocative call and saw some distant Shelduck and Redshank out near the tideline. The only birds that I could get remotely near to photograph were a lovely bright autumn plummaged Meadow Pippit and a Kestrel hovering.
I kept trying to get closer to the Kestrel, but each time I did, he would swoop away a bit further and hover again! This is the best photo I could get.

Wonderful Jenny! Hope you had some of those really cool bog boots I love!Love the kestrel as well!
There's something very British about those first three photos :-) Love the Pippit.
Nice scenes Jen, much better and more peaceful than Weston Super Mud down the road.
Yes the Kestrel is definitely a "Car job".
That kestrel photo looks great to me! My air shots are always horrible. I love that Meadow Pippit...a very pretty bird!
Hi Evie
Replying to all these from Adrian's computer. Bog boots? Please tell me more, they sound great!
Hi Alan, I love estuaries and the sounds of waders (sorry shorebirds). I love that pippit photos to, but my bugbear seems to be that I can't get close enough do get really GREAT photos. C'est la vie!
Hi Roy, yes it was a lovely peaceful afternoon specially with the sounds of Curlew in the distance.
Hi Mary, Thanks for the boost to my ego, and yes the Meadow Pippit is a lovely bird in a quiet sort of way.
Hi Jenny AKA Adrian, if you remember this post http://sunnysideup-eve.blogspot.com/2008/09/old-port.html
go down to the 12th picture. The tall boots with the flowers are the bog boots I would love to get. Bog is the brand name. They seem perfect for our type of fun, don't you think!!!
Hope Chris is feeling better!!
