Five long tailed ducks out at sea alongside the velvet scoters and goldeneye.

And the powerful wind filling those beaches. Creating a splendid tangle of thermals.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great variety of birds. The Long-tailed Ducks are one of my favorite winter birds.
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see large rafts of the wintering birds on the bays.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of a murmuration of knots - have only thought of it in connection with starlings.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the inks. I've bookmarked rspb.
