Disturbance

[Chocky]

This was taken from the hide at Bowling Green Marsh near Topsham . Some thing disturbed these birds for quite some minutes. It may well be mixed in with them but I didn't see. Probably a Sparrow hawk or suchlike but you will see all sorts of birds here taking flight even Starlings over the background.

That's a great shot, lots of action.

Thank you
I would love to have captured what disturbed them though

good action shot, chocky. mostly black tailed godwits. sometimes there is'nt anything that has actually spooked them. one nervous bird goes up.. and it triggers a chain reaction.

I guess so.
It's a lovely place.Bowling Green Marsh. I go there quite a lot . I go to Topsham town and walk round the quay and along the sea wall then down a country lane to the plaform just a short walk of the hide
There are one or two Wigeons in the middle and some starlings (I think ) at the back on the left side.
