Great spotting...
Once I feel I am seeing a dream... !!
Whoa! What a bill!
Well worth the effort! Nice photo.
Thanks :) I spent about an hour chasing these birds along the beach photographing them, so this was the best of many photos.
These birds are probably preparing to fly back down here from Russia now :)
