LOL Don't think so but the telegraph might and sue us too, so maybe better not. I wondered about the landing strip and the mirroring of the pointed inlet which will likely flood first if the tide rose further, that said they were right up to the waters edge elsewhere so landing strip seems to come out top. Any chance of some pix of the birds landing on the 'landing strip' please, sounds interesting? The link JK posted was very interesting, pointing out the causes, reasons and consequences of bird behaviour. It made a lot of sense. As for poor journalistic images, I don't think the Telegraph will bat an eyelid, it wouldn't get through the door at an exhibition but once the punter has paid for the paper, any interest in the DoF evaporates in the editors eye. I tried to find the image but all I could find was their idea of 'pictures of the day', the birds didn't make it... I am currently doing battle with the BBC about their website video's auto-playing when auto-play is turned off in my Safari preferences AND my BBC preferences, yet it still auto-plays and cancels my setting of 'No auto-play'. I don't think they are too bothered.

I don't think they are too bothered. Interesting. I have had the same problem with YouTube, and other sites. I think it must be something that is intrinsic to the way the files are presented or read by the browsers. Back on Topic - Bird photos!

I understand the herding for warmth but the gap never closed, changed shape or moved as they did. We have video and they ran round the space almost as though there was an invisible brick wall. Very odd. Having seen the Telegraph photo I must agree that it was poor. Especially as the guy was sat centre hide with his massive lens hanging on a gimbal head and tripod for over an hour. (We know this because we were stood at the back fighting to poke our lenses past people's heads for nearly an hour). We all know how hard it is to photograph birds, so it's not the fact he missed a shot, it's that he had a loooong time to review, check and try different options ...and he apparently didn't, if that's the best he got. On a sobering point, my friend Mike, who accompanied Graham and I, spent a few moments totting up the equipment value in the hide. He estimated there was at least £100,000 on show. ( including several 800mm lenses!) Poor old photographers.

There were many who simply dropped into the pack. It's a pity we can't add video to this site you would see the fantastic wave moments as they inexplicably shuffle....like cereal in the breeze. Here's some birds dropping in....

You can upload video to YouTube and link to here if you want to show video. One thought regarding the triangular area is that it could be the river/stream outflow through the gravel to the sea. Maybe the birds dont like it for this reason.

Anyway it shows the flow I was talking about.... https://youtu.be/17QDnCuADwk Looking at the video I noticed that there is something large bobbing in the water edge of that empty space area. Can't make out what it is. Dead goose? Polythene bag? It may be its movement is putting them off using that shoreline...or it's somehow 'tainting' the shingle area? (Link edited - Chris)

Thanks Chris. What was the issue? I can see the black thingy at the water's edge. I cant zoom in to see more detail on my iPad.

Extraneous ' at the end of the link. Video quality can be improved by selecting HD 1080 on the youtube settings - bottom right corner.
