Very nice John. I don't have any Whimbrel images. Good position and detail although a tad oversharp on my monitor.

Better than mine too, I'm working on shortenning a curlew beak.

Sometimes its good to have the bird big in the frame and i think this is one of those times-great stuff :toast:

The light on the head really draws your attention to the eye of the subject. Lovely capture!

Wow, what a superb image.

With most shorebirds I've photographed were only ever small dots in the frame and have had to significantly enlarge to get even half this image size
