I was wrong in thinking Soil Hell has the monopoly on strong wind. The gale I experienced today took my back to the halcyon days of hurricanes in Belize. When I got back to the hotel I took time out to scoop sand out of my eyes.
I came across this Redshank resting on the beach so sneaked one in with the mobile. It was more of the same species generally but Black-tailed Godwits had shot up to around 220 birds. Oh and the wind had blown the Twite out of sight.
Posting pics from Blogger Mobile is one helluva pain, hopefully I may be able to tidy up on arrival back in Queensbury the home of chronic birding.
PS I did.
