Northern Cut Off Revisited

Well with rain forecast most of the week and impending structural work needing doing on my cottage, today was the last chance for images until the weekend. Another visit to Stithians, it was still quite lively and there weren't to many quiet periods. With the low water levels there seems to be some opportunistic fishing going on and some waders as a plus enjoying the mud.

Great flight shots Bob. Those little Martins and Swallows aren't easy.
I think that's a Greenshank. Strangely enough I was watching 3 today, at a local reserve lol
