Probe, eat, and run

Probe, eat and run, that is what Bar-tailed Godwits (Limosa Lapponica/Rosse Grutto) do. Every year they are seen along the Dutch coast, making a stopover to refuel for their long distance migration from their breeding grounds in the tundra to Africa. This morning it was stormy, with dark gloomy clouds in the sky and a hazy fog of salt spray above the beach. The surf created a thin wet film on the sand causing blurry reflections. Great light, nice scenery, and a confiding bird, exactly the circumstances I hoped for.
