Snettisham RSPB Reserve

An early start was fully rewarded by the sight of Pink Footed Geese, Oyster Catchers and Knot, in their thousands, taking to the skies as the predicted high tide covered their feeding ground on the mud flats.   This is a spectacle to be repeated as it is a magnificent experience, particularly when a flock of Knot fly straight towards you at great speed, generating an exciting sound of wing beat and 'whoosh'.

As dawn breaks the colours are dark and blue, but once the sun is about to break over the horizon, the colours change to pink and orange.   Next time it would be worth taking an additional lens to capture a wide angle shot or two.    Additionally, more attention needs to be given to exposures as the light is changing all the time and adjustments need to be made!

An unforgettable visit.
