Bad days are a coming part one

Well that is the forecast for this week, so I thought I had better get out before it gets here.

Low water was 8:20am so the tide was going to be out where ever I went. I decided to go to Bloors Wharf as I have been neglecting it for a while. As it is a good way from the car and there is nowhere to place anything when you get there it was a travel light job. The sun was warm but the wind was cool and I needed a jacket, pity because it was too hot with it........

As I was walking up I saw that the birds were a good way out with only a few in close. But there was part of a colony of Gulls with both Red Shank's and Godwit's, both half a sleep.  I walked out to where the deep water creek is at low water and on passing a flock of Gulls I saw that they had in the middle a flock of Starlings feeding. I got a few shots off when they took off. Now I have noticed that at home if one flies off the other seem to follow.

Who you looking at

A lot of them just fly off when you get close but not this one didn't.

While walking on the path I heard a Robin but I could not see him, he even carried on chirping away while I was looking for him, no luck.

There was a couple of dozen of them ring in the middle of the Gulls

Ducks in flight

I can't find these in any book but they maybe Teals

the same ducks

They took off to move farther out, boo

The Dam Buster comes to mind

While these were flying around all the time.

Even more so

Lapwing

I don't remember seeing a Lapwing here before but there was one near the entrance near the colony of Gulls

This one

Taking a bath

More manoeuvres 

I think these are Ruffs or Godwit's

They must have been up all night cos they are still a sleep.

Keeping an eye open

Well that is it for today but of course this blog would not be complete, with out at least one shot that is missing, would it.

I have not let you down.
