 From the expression on your faces, it looks like one or all of you broke wind and the birds are not taking flight, they are dropping out of the sky for that fianal landing. :cheers

Looking forward to the shots from Graham.

 The Common Tern kept an eye on us too. This was using the 25 focus points with D850 and lens as above at full 400mm plus x1.4 this is about 1/3 image blown up and I took 5 frames as it hovered and all were as sharp.

 Sadly after Eric and Robert left 54 Avocets arrived this is some of them. Same camera and lens and 25 point focus with AFC. All pictures above in this series at 1000 ISO and 1/2500 sec.
In afternoon some mist came in and this is a blow up from about 1/4 of the shot.

 Yes, we saw the Avocets down the river and shooed them up towards you.:lol:

It was a challenging day given the subject distance and lighting.

Here's the ringed plover having a stand-off with the two little ringed plovers
