Humber Bay seems popular today

[What was that?]

I was there around 10.30 until 13.00, very few people about (wonder why, couldn't be the wind could it?). Shame I missed forum peeps. Next time.

Chased down the egret to get some decent pics.

My favourite shot of the day (realised after I got home) -  two gulls having a pose-down contest over fishing rights.

Feeding on the ground in front of me, until klutzy me scared them off, love the understated colours of the Cardinal.

And one Goldfinch feeling very much like I did - blown around.

Green winged teal, I haven't seen many of these. I read that they are more tasty than the mallard.
