Birds on the wing

Birds on the wing
This is the Keer Channel on Morcambe Bay, just south of Carnforth. I heard this flight of birds before I saw them. As to what they are, they were moving so fast that even my fast shutter speed fails to make them out that good. My research makes me think they might be Golden plover (Pluvialis apricaria) that are known to visit this area. Maybe somebody may know better.

Enjoy full screen.

A very impressive flock of whatever they may be, Herb. You did well to stop them.

Thanks for this Carol. I did in fact seem them take of and land in this area once or twice and took a few pics of which I think this was the best. Glad you liked it.
