I will be the first person to admit that I have a small obsession with waders. Whenever I get the opportunity to, I will visit the south coast, in particular a small stretch of shingle beach in Hampshire.
Their quirky and often inquisitive personalities are amusing to say the least. Watching them as they go about their daily business gives me great pleasure, and trying to accurately portray this behaviour in a single photograph gives me a great sense of amazement.
These photos were taken on one beach in Hampshire:

And on the subject of Purple Sandpipers, I couldn't possibly leave out this image (also in my
North Norfolk blog post) taken in the car park at Salthouse in Norfolk:
