Bay of Fundy is a special place... with the world's largest tides, up to 14 meters...
We have just arrived on the shores of the Reserve -
the stopover for thousands of sandpipers on their migration to South America. Birds stop here for food and there is plenty in the tidal mudflats. So much so that they double their weight in just three weeks, before resuming non-stop flight to the South.
It is low tide... the mudflats extend far into distance...
... the Ocean is compressed to a thin line on the horizon and birds are scattered all over the surface...
... with hours passing, the thin line gets thicker and birds come closer...
... hundreds... perhaps thousands...
... overflying the area in unison exhibits... so airy, vivid, joyful... without worry about the long flight...
After full six hours, the ocean reaches the coast...
... the flat is wavy... and birds are coasting just to stretch their wings...
... until the next low tide...
