High Tide...Rossall Point

Yesterday I visited Rossall Point at Fleetwood with Martin and Geoff joined us later to watch the waders at their high tide roost.It was a bracing day with strong and cool winds from the west but we managed to avoid most of the showers.It was a biggish tide which pushed the waders close to the promenade at Rossall. The sanderling,turnstones and ringed plover here are very approachabe and it is very enjoyable catching the action with the big lenses.Shown below are some action shots from the day which show mostly the sanderling in flight along the beach.Also shown one of the many dogs which can upset the roosting birds as they enjoy themselves running along the tide line.The close up image of a sanderling was of a bird which was on the promenade just a few metres away.The birds are very confiding and an interesting shot is shown of a group narrowly avoiding collision with an invalid scooter!! I have also shown the Isle Of Man Ferry on it's daily run from Heysham.Hope you enjoy the images and thanks for looking in.
