CommentI had spent some time crawling out on the mud flat to get myself into position so I could lie and wait for the shorebirds to come closer with the tide- the rest is all up to luck, hoping that you are in the right spot to get the picture before the sun goes down. These sessions are quite rewarding and the birds are often quite relaxed once you have been out there as part of the landscape for some time.
