By just standing still able to get some good footage as they almost fly up to visit me

They brought along a Dunlin all dressed in Breeding plumage too

High Tide Rest

There were upto a hundred at the peak --- which according to BC Bird Atlas is unusual for BC (usually seen as few individuals among other spp)
