Birds on the foreshore

Car misbehaving. Had to go and get a new battery so treated her to two new tyres as well.  She must have heard me discussing trading her in and decided to throw a tantrum!  So, new car next year now..... the new tyres will see her through the winter safely.
Took  a short run to Fremington Quay this afternoon and found these birds on the foreshore - tide was out and they were running up and down seeking treats!  Loved the light fingers , the golden glow on the left and the dark cloud bank looming on the right.
