Photographed at Llanelli, Wales, UK. It was a long way away and a dismal day, but I had to show you. There were about 350 asleep.
Please look at my website bobswildlife.co.uk. There is a photo of a Common Teal, and the Rabbit by Callum in the 'Guest photographer'
Hi Bob,
ReplyDeletethis is another of your wow sets of images, super images on such a dismal day and in such numbers. We tend to get the odd bird, not 350.
All the best, John
Hi John, I'd only seen anything as big number, I was astonished at least 350.
DeleteHi Bob, Just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBest regards, Maria
Well I think you did so well.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures look good for such a dismal day and the sheer number of birds is just fantastic.
All the best Jan
You did well to take the photograph despite the light.
ReplyDeleteHow amazing. I love the one in the third photo having a sleep scratch.
ReplyDeleteWow--- a flash mob! The one bird scratching made me smile! Great shots.
ReplyDeleteHi Bob
ReplyDeleteBeautifully much Godwits together.
Groettie from Patricia.
Beautiful photos, Bob. I love seeing all these pretty birds. Thank you for sharing, my friend.
ReplyDeletevery cool colony
ReplyDeleteOOOHHH There's a lot of them! It's almost unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteThis species is not seen in such large numbers in my area. They're looking for quiet areas to take shelter.
Good week Bob.
Beautiful bird with beautiful feathers!
ReplyDeleteWOW, what a gathering of birds! These photos are gorgeous Bob! The reflection in the water is so beautiful... :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Yael, they were a suprise, lucky me.
DeleteUna colonia muy numerosa. Siendo inexperto en la fotografía de aves, al contrario que usted que es un maestro, me he encontrado en alguna ocasión al amanecer en playas de Sudamérica con grandes bandadas de aves que arrancan el vuelo al unísono y vuelan haciendo rápidos cambios en la trayectoria sin que haya sido capaz de captar fotografías satisfactorias posiblemente en mi afán de captarlo todo.
ReplyDeleteUn abrazo,
WOW! WOW!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many birds in one place.
ReplyDeleteReflections are amazing.
Thanks Bob. Fantastic photos. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see a flock of them together Bob. Some lovely photos of them too.
ReplyDeleteOMG. Fantastic. Happy weekend.
ReplyDeletethat's a lot of them
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous to see so many of them, Bob and to capture the scene so well with your camera. It might have been a dull day, but I'm sure that these brightened up your day! Best wishes - - - Richard
ReplyDeleteHi Richard, yes, it was a treat to photograph so many. Next year, I'm going to Llanelli again, but, till its sunny.
DeleteHello, wonderful images and captures of the shorebirds. I love the group photos, it is a mob. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteTolle Bilder von den Schnepfen schön fotografiert.
