Filey, 28th Nov '24 - Purps

The best part of a day's birding on the coast, and with an urge to commune with Purple Sandpipers on the Brigg, Filey it was for the morning session. A total of 48 was a pretty good tally by recent standards, and it's always such a joy to sit down and watch them beavering away as the incoming tide opens up the seafood buffet for them.
A good couple of of hours down on the rocks with minimal disturbance was a fine way to spend my time before a wander along the cliffs (see next post); good to be back, and the first opportunity to have done so in a couple of months....
