Newton Beach, Porthcawl - Sunday 21st of September 2008 
Beautiful Beach + ideal setting for Waders = A Perfect world



Sunday was the 2nd day in a glorious weekend, so we naturally gravitated to the outdoors for the day. As we had the 2 yr old with us, we thought we'd take him to the beach. And as we also would enjoy a bit of wader spotting, Newton Beach in Porthcawl was the perfect setting. It has both wide expanses of sandy beach, ideal for the toddler, and huge areas of rock pools where the waders tend to congregate. Perfect for everyone!

There were a wide variety of waders present, including but not limited to the following:

Curlews
Oystercatchers
Redshanks
Turnstones

Although there were a wide variety of birds present, we only improved upon the Curlew photos. With Mark practicing his panning on the Curlew, we may be up to chasing birds of prey someday soon :)
