The Kentish Plovers were picking up tiny fish that has been washed ashore…

Not often I get to see a male in breeding plumage so close.

I was waiting for a fishing Osprey that never showed up…
There were Red-necked grebe and Pacific Diver offshore and a couple of male Kentish Plovers on the shore. The angle wasn’t great (we were looking down at it) and the light wasn’t great either but the pics weren’t so bad all things considered.
As we pulled into a beachside car park there were 2 Ospreys fishing inshore very close. I grabbed my camera and didn’t really have time to adjust the settings.
Not too bad but the shutter speed was too slow and I was in crop mode. If I had been waiting for a while in this spot I may have been ready. Next time, next time.
