I went out to find a life-bird (a bird I have not yet seen before). It was a trip met with success, but of course a thunderstorm killed the lighting, threatened to drench my camera, and made being the highest thing on a long pier a rather precarious option. So the photos are not exceptional, merely a record. I felt bad for the red knot, it was off-course and seemed to be stressed. He was repeatedly crossing the pier, hopefully getting food I could not see. Red knots are not doing so well in terms of population. Read more here
I did not really get a chance to enjoy the bird, but just felt like I was disturbing an already stressed bird, so I watched him from a distance for a short time and then left. (The impending downpour also rushed me).
