Sunny but freezing at Marazion

Sun shone today, but the North Easterly wind from Siberia, made conditions rather unpleasent to put it politely. A shirt, fleece, two coats, gloves, hat, fleecey neck warmer and it was still baltic. Been after a shot of the Oyster Catcher in Flight and bagged one today. Bittern also but this time mainly shots in the reed bed. Including one fishing. So it was worth all the cold a runny nose etc to get the pictures. As usual you need to enlarge them for best viewing.

Just wait for the focusing problems.... ;-)
No really, Brilliant images, the oystercatcher shows the precision of the focusing.
