Hey all

I spent some time on the coast yesterday snapping waders. Came across some redshank and oystercatchers, and some brent geese too:

Thanks for looking! On a side note - Strangford is the sea lough that is in the the "sticky out" bit on the side of Northern Ireland, its very calm most of the time as its sheltered by land on each side and is a haven for bird life, porpoises and seals.

Fantastic photos Danny. The third one made me giggle, my eyes followed the Redshank down to the reflection of its legs and then I was puzzled briefly to find the rest of its reflection the right way up......until I realised it was a second Redshank.
