A SANDPIPER RUNS BACK AND FORTH

Posted by Anne (White Rock, Canada) on 17 January 2007 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This little bird with long legs doesn't swim or dive for food - he spent a long time running along the same area of sand, when the waves recede. Pecks for I don't know what in the sand?

Well! I am back and missed being away so long due to ill health. It was a bit of a struggle to find energy to stay on my computer and post. My daughter Lesley and her husband Robin, gave me this wonderful gift of a cruise to Alaska and Lesley and I had a whale of a time! I could just live on that ship - absolutely wanted for nothing! Hope to hear from you all! Don't know how much I can get around posting comments - so will probably have to keep them brief - but will try to get around as much as I can! Thanks to all my friends for their good wishes!

Please go ahead and give me constructive criticism where needed! I am a bit out of practice at both taking and editing decent photographs - so help me if you can!
