I came across this bird feeding in a small mixed flock on the seashore at high tide. Because there was so much detritus around I have cropped in close, I hope that it still gives some idea of the habitat.

Thanks for looking.

I think you've preserved the habitat well and I like the blowing droplets and soft light.

Very nice work, David. It does show the habitat very well. Nice and sharp with an appealing pose.
