Dunlin in flight

although not as beautiful as Avocets in individual markings, these mass in far larger quantities here and there is a magic as they turn against the sun and the dark streaks in the paired photo turn to a blaze of white

The streaks of dark and light wings is fascinating as they fly off. Superbly shot. V

Fascinating to watch birds in flight... both are great shots...

I gather Dunlin are rare vagrants to my part of the world (migratory shorebirds are not something I know a lot about). You sure have them in abundance; terrific.

Both excellent captures of this large flock of birds in flight.
