Shattered Wheater

As I was sitting outside the harbour the other morning a Wheater landed on the railings of the boat absolutely shattered. You could see it's chest pumping up and down with exhaustion, but what I could not understand was that the shoreline was 50 yards away where it could rest, drink and eat but instead it landed on the boat.

Oh well I was pleased as this was the closest I have been to one and it was the perfect opportunity to get a picture.
