Sanderlings and Sandpipers (believe Western). If you've ever shot these guys before you'll know they move fast, so many small movements as they dip into the sand.
It was a pretty cloudy day (raining for some of these) but just enough soft light to let them come out OK. I of course forgot my rain pants so I got soaked lying prone on the wet sand as the tide was going out but it was worth it
The first photo is of a Sanderling with only one leg, seemed to be doing OK getting down into the sand.

Always nice when you don't have to crop on the A9 - the images have noticeably more presence. I'm usually shooting small songbirds in native habitat which means getting close enough is rare. This jay stopped for about 5 seconds on a branch right at the MFD of the 200-600 + 1.4 TC combo; in fact I had to lean back a tiny bit to get him in focus, and he still filled the frame.
(Of course the down side is you have almost no depth of field.)
