Purple Sandpipers soaked in sea spray

As I approached the rugged shoreline, a lively scene unfolded before me. A group of purple sandpipers clung to the jagged edges of the rocks, braving the relentless rhythm of the sea. The incoming waves crashed with force, sending a cascade of salty spray into the air. Some of the birds darted away, agile and swift, avoiding the onslaught of water, while others stayed resolute, letting the sea spray drench their feathers. It was mesmerising to witness their interplay with the elements—nature in its raw and unfiltered form.
