A quick check on the boats this afternoon as gale force winds hit the South coast today. It was pretty blustery and wet out there, but for a brief few minutes I managed to dodge the showers and record a few waders braving the elements.
I counted at least 10 Ringed Plovers, 5 Turnstones, 4 Dunlin and 2 Oystercatchers.
Here are a few record shots:

And another.
This is a juvenile Turnstone

A really windy day and the boats out on their moorings are taking a right bashing. Especially our Shetland in the centre. Hope the chain holds!!
