About 14 Turnstones and 13 Redshanks perched on colourful layered rock formations in the cliff under the Bruce Embankment at West Sands in St Andrews. These are wading birds and they were waiting for the tide to change before resuming their normal, frantic foraging along the tide line. The birds are similar in size and shape although the Redshanks are slightly larger and less rounded than the Turnstones and have a longer, sharper redder bill. Both have vivid red legs. Although I know very little about it, geology and rock formations fascinate me - I think these are slightly dipping, bedding planes (ie slightly tilting layers of different rock types) laid down, disrupted and eroded over many millions of years with a more significant intrusion (ie a vertical split caused by more severe tilting or an eruption) in the bedding plane at the bottom of the cliff. There is also a vertical column of boulders rising from the bottom to the top (I think this might be called a cill). The rocks range in colours from black, brown, green, cream and rust. The birds' colours stand out well against the rock colours and the birds are perched mostly in a singe line along one of the rock planes.
#WaitingWednesday rather than #WaderWednesday! Geology fascinates me especially the colours & lines (bedding planes & cills?) at W. Sands St Andrews. I like how the Turnstones & Redshanks sit in them.
