Snettisham Wader Spectacular

The predicted high tide arrived an hour early this morning due to strong onshore wind so the Knot (top image) followed by the Black-tailed Godwits soon filled the shingle island in the gravel pits at Snettisham. I tried some slower shutterspeeds (1/50th) . The waders stayed at the roost for a full three hours after high tide but eventually lifted and were off.

A spectacular spectacle indeed (a bit like the tidal wave of Greylags we saw last week hurtling up the Sound of Iona at sunset ... but sadly no decent photos in my case).
