A sharp, frosty morning, I had to run some errands in town, so I decide to walk to Corinthians Way, by the Humber. I realise the tide is quite low, and I'm curious to see what's feeding on the mudflats just south of Scott Street bridge. I'm glad I checked, as I see my first Curlew north of North Bridge, and three Redshank too. Two Dunlin are with a Redshank south of the bridge, Dunlin being new for the year.

A sleeping Redshank, or is it?
The light is gorgeous, and I try some interesting photography by Victoria Pier.
A Curlew arrives noisily, and it keeps calling and walking by the Deep.
The Half Tide Basin.
The Half-tide Basin pays dividends, as there is a gull roost, and more excitingly, a large flock of Dunlin, frantically feeding by the tideline with a Curlew and a Redshank.

This gull had an unusual head.

Dunlins are utterly charming.
