 It could be that as they are not too good at landing on water they leave a space for their mates to land. Looking at other pictures with more birds arriving they all land there. Also look at the pointed spur of water at right perhaps they think rising water may come up there.
Yesterday the Telegraph Paper published a full page spread picture taken there by a Paul Marriott. It showed a mass of birds no doubt taken by a very long lens (must be Canon) apart from a thin band of sharpness across centre pix it was all very unsharp!! Same birds when we were there.
I have sent an e-mail to the picture editor complaining about a very bad picture and photographer not taking note of depth of field problems and stopping lens down more or using a wider angle lens like I did when I was having same problem with my 500mm lens. I also enclosed several pictures for him to see it will be interesting to see if they respond.
Sorry I dare not put the pix up or Robert will kill me for copright issues. But see Telegraph Thursday 3 Oct 2019.
