Here for more information.The little dead mouse in the last photo is my entry to @melinda010100’s @shadowhunters contest. Check 👉
A small Sandpiper on the dock by the Montague River. I couldn’t get any closer with my phone without scaring him away.
The little long-legged wading bird was Interesting to watch as he went from walking the docks at the harbour to the water near the shore looking for something to eat.
I know @annephilbrick is on holidays with the reflective contest and the Sandpiper gives two reflection at the same time in the shallow part of the river near the shore.
The little hunter almost became the hunted
There was a little drama as I watched a small green crab sneak up towards the bird as he was wading in the shallow water. I’m not sure what the crab had in mind but the sandpiper seemed to sense the crab and flew off before the outstretched claws could grab his legs. I think the crab could pinch his long legs but hopefully not do serious damage as this bird needs those long legs for wading.
I left the little sandpiper and started on the walking trail beside the river when I looked down to see a dead mouse and his little shadow. I can’t imagine what could have happened to kill him.

Little animals cast such sweet little shadows and you scored really well a lovely collection of little animals all wound in a cute little story Jo. Happy Sunday tomorrow, ours is just ending.
Good morning from Canada Angie. ❤️ Thanks for your lovely comment and have a wonderful evening at your end of the world...I was going to type ‘bottom’ instead of end. :))
It's been a while since I joined the contest.
Love the pigeon photos. Wish you good luck @redheadpei
Poor little mouse 🤍🙏🏼🌼
There are some great contest on Hive to keep one thinking of things to write and take photos.
I did feel bad for the little mouse too @itsmiessyonpeakd.
Thanks for your support. Always appreciated.❤️🌸
@redheadpei 🤍🤍🤍
I love your shadows and reflections Jo! Sandpipers are cool little birds! I wonder if some other bird got the mouse and dropped it as it was trying to fly off with it?!
Wishing you a beautiful weekend! 💕
Tip
Hi Dee.💕 Yes it is a mystery what happened to the little mouse. I had thought maybe the mouse was hit by someone on a bicycle but it didn't have a mark on it.
Thanks so much for your support and generosity.
Have a wonderful weekend.☀️
Hi Jo! Perhaps it got bit by a bug or frightened to death. I know some animals and birds can have a heart attack if they are given a fright. Wishing you a wonderful weekend there on the Island! 🤗💕
beautiful and amazing place
Great photos of the Sandpiper and his shadow. I'm pretty certain that no one has ever entered a dead mouse shadow into the shadow contest before! I'm pretty sure you are the first.🐭🐁🐭 thanks for and entering the contest this week!
Nice shadow hunters photography.
Thanks @kamrunnahar.
Have a lovely weekend.☀️
Poor little mouse, but I want to believe that she just died because she was too old ... or because she has eaten too much cheese 🤣
I like the shadows of the birds and the story of the crab that wanted to catch a bird is cool. What do you think, would the crab have eaten the bird if it was able to catch it?
Good luck in the competition Jo 🤞😀

It’s hard to say what killed the mouse. Bicycles are allowed on the trail and I was thinking it may have been hit by one. People walk with dogs on a lease and a dog may have seen the mouse and was able to kill it. It’s a mouse who done it. :))
I also wondered about the crab as it seemed aggressive. I don’t think that small a crab could kill and eat the bird ~ maybe eat it if it was dead. After the bird took off the crab disappeared quickly in the water. I wanted to get a photo but it all happened too fast. Perhaps the crab wanted to scare the bird off from it’s food supply.
Thanks dear Hannes and a wish again for a happy and sunny weekend.🤗☀️
Hi Jo,
it seems we will never know why the mouse died 😭🤣
Oh yes, that makes sense, the crab defended it's food 👍
It's sunny here and I also wish you a wonderful weekend with lots of sunshine, dear Jo 🤗🌞
