Crab fest

Hundreds of thousands of beautiful blue crabs descended on this small mud flat at Stockton mud flats while I was photographing birds there.  Why, I'm not sure (maybe a mass breeding orgy?) but it was a truly amazing spectacle.  I've never seen so many crabs in one place.  It was awe inspiring.

Orgy crabs ! That's funny. Fantastic the blue colour ! The spectacle of the nature. You are lucky, G. You testified that moment.

What an amazing thing to see. I love the bird pictures, especially the reflections. Has to be a better way to spend the day than working!

I can just imagine you lying on the ground with all the crabs trying to get a macro shot!!! Rather you than me though!
