Apparently, others who came before had. The birds knew exactly where to find it. I sat down on the beach to change lenses and they were all over my water bottle. This was my absolute favorite place to be in all the islands. In great part because of these curious birds.

Looks like they have a plan..... Excellent image Rebecka. One is trying to pierce the bottle while the other attempts to unscrew it. Comical in a way.

Rebecka, I really like your crop to vertical choice, your perfect DOF, the positions of the birds and the bright blue bottle against the other muted colors. Well, I guess I like it all! Very nice. :toast:

Very cool shot Rebecka. I like the splash of bright color the water bottle gives.
