a ring-billed gull floats in mid-air above waves, their wings flung out over their head and in front of them as they prepare to drop and grab a crustacean.
a group of Sanderlings seem to fade into the pink and purple sand that reflects sunset light. an ocean wave rolls out behind them.

a sanderling with their back to the camera shifts away from a tiny approaching wave, the edge of the ripple bubbling across the sand
a sanderling walking in sand just as a wave is rolling out, the sand covered in tiny bubbles. The purple-blue sunset sky is reflected in both the wet sand and the outgoing water.
