Hi Guys,

I have discovered a new place to shoot waders in low water. yesterday-evening the light was great so i decided to go there and take some shots of the three Black-tailed Godwits that hang out there.

Greetings,

A superb portrait, crisp and beautifully composed in great light.

Lovely portrait, maybe bit too tight in the frame for my tastes though - more space top, less on bottom perhaps?

Excellent action - they must be your favourite species given the range of options they seem to be giving you at the moment.
