Morecambe Bay birdlife.

A beautiful day today;  no wind and full sunshine made it feel quite warm out in the Bay.  I arrived at high tide and walked out to the edge of the grass where I set up my tripod.  I then just stayed put and watched the tide go out.  As soon as the muddy beach became exposed the redshanks started to probe while making their shrill calls [extra].  The oystercatchers were initially huddled together in large groups on land but started flying about as soon as the sandbanks started to appear.  I must have stood there by my tripod for about 3 hours but the time flashed by as it was all so wonderful to watch.
