Remark : Awesome story line posted in Ruddy Turnstone (Breeding Plumage) with Video of my journey to Modhava Beach.all Credits goes to my frnd Dilipsinh Chudasama & Nirav Pomal who came with us from his busy schedule n we got un-believable frames of Breeading Plumage of Waders. we reached on beach around at 6.40am after drive of 10km n parked car then walked inside towards sea,i think we had walked 1-2km in sea sand.it was very pleasant morning with cool sound of ocean waves.even there were no human except we. finally we find the birds n moved towards them,after walking some steps we all crawl to go further closure to them n we succeed.it was my 1st experience of crawling in sand n sea water,we all were wet with sea water.somehow we had managed to avoid our camera from wet. After crawling here to there we had clicked this image around at 8.15am.
