Pale sunrise

followed by a beautiful morning. Cold though, flying and I were wishing we'd brought gloves - I know, that's pretty soft in February!

At first it seems there were not many birds, but as we walked back towards the car more and more birds were busy foraging.

Extras: (far too many - but what can you do - a special morning!)
a delightful young stilt feeding - they are so graceful and delicate
Gulls at sunrise
A shag drying its wings
A knot feeding
And a spoonbill practicing  skating moves - maybe the ice dancing at the Olympics? 2018AOG?
