This Kestrel has found a good perch, on the soon to be demolished Ferrybridge Inn
This Oystercatcher is having to probe quite some depth, to find its next meal.
There I was videoing this Oystercatcher, when a Dunlin gate crashed the recording.
Just one of the hundreds of Ringed Plover which arrived on the sandflats as the tide dropped.

And there were good numbers of Dunlin arriving as well.
These Dunlin are such busy waders.

Easton
On my way out of Easton a Jay landed on the grass verge at the junction of Grove Road.
Recorded on my Dashcam, hence the poor quality, but on left a Jay lands on the grass at the base of the tree.
