Over the past week, rising tides in the late afternoon have coincided with
walks my wife and I try to take along the former railway line in southend
Yarmouth. There's quite a bit if rockweed in the intertidal in places,
particularly in the vicinity of the sewage treatment plant (which isn't as
gross as that may sound!).
In recent days, there have been at least fifteen shorebirds foraging on the
dried rockweed as it gradually becomes submerged by the rising water. Some
of them may be standing on rocks, but others seem able to perch on the
rockweed to check out the pantry.
Proportions and size look right for lesser yellowlegs and my sharper-eyed
wife confirms that the legs are yellow.
Has anyone else noticed this sort of behaviour?
