First day of holiday! Fly to San Francisco and drive straight to Half Moon Bay. Got there checked into our hotel, and still have a couple of hours to look round. We walked across the road to the harbour for a look see. There were lots of Elegant Terns flying about, with brown Pelicans and Double-crested Cormorants. Then some waders on the beach too, Least Sandpipers, Hudsonian Whimbrel and Marbled Godwit, sadly this time of day you are looking straight into the sun. But, i did try to get some shots.

A little wander around and my first lifer was under the belt, another wader, Black Turnstone!
Nice start, lets see what tomorrow brings…………..
