With impending bad weather forecast for the weekend, it was decided to get the birding bus out of mothballs and go for it. Shropshire nice and mild, Cheshire snow hard and thick and New Brighton producing all of it over two days on the beach.

A brief spell of sunshine |
|
And a sneaky Purple Sandpiper |
|
It was not rough much! |
|
Struggling with the wind. |
|
Oops! caught of balance. |
|
A brief respite. |
|
But not for long. |
|
A sharp get away! |
|
Nearly got caught by this big wave. |
|
A quick run for it as the water went away. |
|
Took these shanks ages to get through the viewfinder.. |
Lying on the sand was by far the best way of getting close, apart from uncontrolled bloomin dogs and owners, they were getting very confiding. until, yep another darned controlled hound..
more next time.
