Ruddy Birds

Turnstones and Sandpiper seen on the breakwater
and a Curlew flew over our car as we headed for home.

Toot and I had an early start this morning . Whilst ATS swapped the tyres around on our car, we set off for a walk along the breakwater to the UK's most easterly location, Ness Point.

The sun shone, the sea sparkled and we enjoyed an easy stroll along the breakwater wall.  We stopped to talk to two birdwatchers who were photographing birds from Ness Point. They pointed out the Turnstones and Purple Sandpiper which were feeding on the breakwater about 10 metres away from us.  Pretty little birds!

We picked up our car and as we were passing Lowestoft Lighthouse a Curlew flew over us.  How good was that?
