    This is not spectacular. But you can see the Curlews. They just suddenly flew in.
    I didn't know they were coming until they landed and they were a long way out

    Its good Chocky.The unexpected bits are always the best.I posted a series of Bee pics a while ago,two were intentional but the one in flight was taken when I was testing the flash exposure.I didnt even know I had captured it.

    They flock into the estuary. They are about twice the size of the Godwit

    Behave Chocky. Now I have to thumb through my books to find out what a Godwit is.

    There is a video of them in this section. I'm about to upload a flock of Oystercatchers flying in
    Hundreds of them
