Sunday 8th January 2023, I sat on the rocks on the shore of Booterstown Beach in Dublin for over an hour until some shorebirds flew in. This is a Redshank combing through the seaweed and stones feeding while I sat back with the camera snapping. The sky was clear and the sun was very strong. I sat with my back to the sun, managing to hide the sun behind a wall to diffuse some of the harsh light. Picture: Caoimhe Tyndall
