Grey Phalarope

Grey Phalarope

 

This Grey Phalarope has been at Falmouth for a few days and as we had a break in the foul weather of late I thought I'd take a ride out there to try some shots.

So along with Ed Treverton we made a quick dash down to the south Cornish coast and luckily spotted it within seconds of getting out of the car. Seeing it was one thing but getting across the seaweed strewn rocks to be near it was another!

It was bouncing away merrily on a rapidly rising tide and that along with its constant head bobbing whilst feeding meant I made good use of the "Delete" button on my camera!
