Some bird photo's from the Thames Estuary

I took my camera down to the beach to get some shots of the geese that collect there at this time of year. It's a bit early for the big shows that they put on, but the day was nice, so what the heck :laughing7:.

Hi Chris, your bird looks a bit like the Turnstone, they are known to migrate as far as South Africa :dontknow:. I'll ask my friend, he goes all over the world bird watching :icon_thumleft:
