Some more photographs of the Sanderling on Meon Shore. These were taken on the 3rd December. My aim was to catch the sea spray crashing onto the beach and showering them. These little birds rush down to the water’s edge between waves to catch their lunch often little sand hoppers.
Waiting for the wave!
I always feel these little birds are tough little fellows. If I was the same height as a Sanderling the waves would be over twice my height I do not think I would have the nerve to stand at the water’s edge as they do! I also know how long it takes me to drive to Scotland from here on the south coast but how do these little birds fly past Scotland up to the Arctic tundra to breed each year?
Continued Reflections from my World. 
Like the water in the air around these tough little birds. You captured some great photos. It is amazing how far many species of birds migrate.

Thank you, Peggy. We have storm-force winds forecast along the coast tonight so expect they are in for a hard time.

I like their look as they study the waves – they are not only cute but brave. You got some great shots Andy and I especially like the Christmas wishes at the end of the post … very clever! Happy Christmas to you as well!
