Another day on the coast

Photo: Eiders.

Another day's work today and it was back to the Cumbrian coast. It was a fair bit quieter than it has been of late, with a moderate north westerly making it feel really chilly. Still, nice to get out of the house and see some different scenery. A lesser whitethroat was singing in a patch of gorse and about 11 eiders put on a fine show on the water below me. Waders were a bit sparse, about 500 dunlin, 80 ringed plover, 200 oystercatchers and a single whimbrel.
