Looking for Birds Beginning with P last week, I came upon other birds, which didn’t. What many of them did have was their being water birds. The pair in the header shot are godwits. Here are a few others:
A heron, a juvenile herring gull, and four cormorants.
They’re for Leanne’s Monochrome Madness. And, why not? also for Beth’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: On the Water – more later, in colour!
From Pyrenees to Pennines 
Love the godwits and reflections xx

I wasn’t expecting flamingos. Seeing them in monochrome makes you look properly rather than just registering pink.

Pthankyou! Though pherring gulls maybe not quite so much: they do have a somewhat evil eye as they steal the tourist’s fish and chips!

At the fish rightfully belongs to them. Not the chips though. Never

Excellent photos of these water birds, specially flamingos in monochrome, and great idea for the two challenges!

One doesn’t think of “flocks” of cormorants but they are pretty gregarious, aren’t they? I adore the first shot, with the backlighting and the reflections. — incidentally, I’ve also got birds this week.
