Another Holland trip has come to an end. A very busy week with Avocets, wild boar, bluethroat, bearded tit, black-necked grebes, godwits and fantastic weather. A fantastic week with great people.
Here some avocets in evening light taken at Texel.

The light doesn't get much better than this, one of your best IMO, Edwin.

The detail in the bird is good to see. I think this works better than last years shots?

I think I might be tempted to trim a little off the bottom, but fundamentally this is one gorgeous shot.
