I ended up today on Marazion beach opposite the marsh. Well it wasn't exactly beach weather with cold temperatures and a freezing northly wind mean't it was going to be cold out there, and I was not disappointed it was freezing! There were some birds however that appeared to be enjoying it or maybe they were so hungry they had to endure it also to feed. Lot of birds were feeding and foraging on the seaweed on the beach. The low position of the winter sun made photography awkward, but I persevered and here are the results below, not my best photos but conditions were pants!!! I am not sure on a couple so I have left them blank, please ID them if you want. Even with a guide I still can't get some of them.

Great shots Bob
Yet another excellent group of Images.
Fantastic Bob.
These are excellent Bob. You certainly got the best out of the conditions.
Can't help much with the ID's though.
A guess at the first; female Redstart?
Great pics bob, the top one looks like a black redstart and the bottom one a dunlin.
I could be wrong though.
nice shots
Ash
the top one is a black redstart and the bottom is a dunlin: nice shots
Hi thanks for all the comments and to Ash and Oscar for identifying some of the birds.
