A lone birder

Another lovely day. Big spring tides so the bay was exposed to a vast shimmering sandy waste in the early morning light. The geese have arrived so I wandered out to see if I could get closer to them. I changed my plans when I spotted this man with his scope as I did not want to risk disturbing them while he was observing them. Later we had an interesting chat and swapped notes. I like the way the colour shows through in the sky in an otherwise monochrome picture without any processing.
