In the style of Stuck, if I may, the Thames Estuary with a flock of Curlew (I think) at the water's edge. Three images stitched together in MS ICE.

Re: Curlew in the Estuary
Nice.
It's difficult to tell whether or not they are curlews. Can you post a shot of just the birds?
Meanwhile, if they're not curlews:

they might be sandpipers:

Re: Curlew in the Estuary
The curlew is most easily recognized by his long beak.
Here's a pic of the Eurasian curlew.

Re: Curlew in the Estuary
As we first approached I thought it was blackheaded gulls with loads of juvaniles but it was their long beaks that gave it away.
This is the closest I got before they all moved away:
I'll get back down there with a telephoto lens.
