I was in West Cork about a month ago and as I was driving back towards Bandon (on a road overlooking a beach) I spotted lots of birds congregating on the sand. I stopped the car on the edge of the narrow road and wound down the window to take this photo. The weather wasn’t that great and I was kind of blocking the road which thankfully was quiet at the time. The tide was very far out and the birds looked like they were gathering with intent, I can only presume that there was something interesting or nutritious in the sand to draw the attention of these birds.
