a curlew striding along the shoreline in front of rolling waves

a curlew passes
a gull, an oystercatcher
residing on the sands
a life of understanding
the song between the waves

an oystercatcher diggin for food in the sands watched by a seagull, a curlew striding on between them

Dutch Goes the Photo Tuesday Photo Challenge: Birthday

a curlew with feathers blown by the wind striding through shallows beside a seagull

feathers straightened
a curlew strides along the shore
so calm, so kind
the waves continue to roll
with the wind, the wild weather

a curlew striding out on the shoreline, waves rolling behind

storm clouds over the Moray Firth at low tide
