Sanderlings always seem to exist in a state of mild urgency. These photographs were made at Hunstanton on an overcast, windy afternoon, which felt entirely appropriate for them. They are small, bright, and constantly in motion, and photographing them well is mostly a matter of trying to keep up without making the image feel frantic. When it works, they bring a lot of energy into a frame without ever losing the sense of the shoreline around them.
