Who Me! LOL Don't think so but the telegraph might and sue us too, so maybe better not.
I wondered about the landing strip and the mirroring of the pointed inlet which will likely flood first if the tide rose further, that said they were right up to the waters edge elsewhere so landing strip seems to come out top.
Any chance of some pix of the birds landing on the 'landing strip' please, sounds interesting?
The link JK posted was very interesting, pointing out the causes, reasons and consequences of bird behaviour. It made a lot of sense.
As for poor journalistic images, I don't think the Telegraph will bat an eyelid, it wouldn't get through the door at an exhibition but once the punter has paid for the paper, any interest in the DoF evaporates in the editors eye. I tried to find the image but all I could find was their idea of 'pictures of the day', the birds didn't make it...
I am currently doing battle with the BBC about their website video's auto-playing when auto-play is turned off in my Safari preferences AND my BBC preferences, yet it still auto-plays and cancels my setting of 'No auto-play'. I don't think they are too bothered.
I confess I didn't see birds using it as a landing strip. There were many who simply dropped into the pack. It's a pity we can't add video to this site you would see the fantastic wave moments as they inexplicably shuffle....like cereal in the breeze.
Here's some birds dropping in....
