    Can't help with the ID there, but that is a great shot!
    Love the soft, gentle colours.

    I'm not certain, but they look as though they might be sandpipers.

    Nice image.

    I believe the birds are sanderlings.

    I just love watching them skitter around - very difficult to convince them to pose. Very nice shot.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
