Purple Sandpiper Video

No sound as the 7D mic is terrible (and it was windy), Dodgy horizon as I was resting on a rock and cheapy transitions between the shots!

Purple Sandpiper's at Jubilee Pool

haven't taken many images lately due to ringing but managed to get out on Wednesday to photo the Purple Sands at Penzance. My patients paid off as I was lying down and had them down to less that a meter (some walking within a foot of my legs!) I wish I could have stayed longer but I wasn't paying attention to the tide and I only noticed I should move when the camera strap was soaked by a wave (luckily I had my hand under the camera or I would have been testing the weather proofness of the 7D!) By the time i got back to dry land the area I was lying in was underwater!

Worth it tho', shot a bit of video to but i haven't looked at that yet/been bothered to edit it.

PS: NO birds were flushed in the making of this post (Note to the Birdforum brigade!!!)

Purple Sandpiper

A few from last weeks CWT field trip to Jubilee Pool. The weather was terrible but the water droplets made the images look a bit different. Still a good turn out despite the weather!

Thanks to Derek and Colin for showing us the Little Ringed Plover's at Trevraven Meadows today. tho' Distant, I may post a phone-scope later.
