Not the Purple Heron again, but my old favourites the Purple Sandpipers of Penzance. I spent the weekend in Cornwall again a mixture of watching local rugby and wildlife photography. Having tried to photograph Choughs at the Lizard, Cuckoos at Men An Tol my back up plan was to try and take some more images of these colourful little birds off Battery Rocks. As you can see the first 2 images show a Purple Sandpiper eating a Wasp or flying beetle and another devouring a snail, the light was good and as ever they were ready to pose.
Hi Anthony
