Black-tailed Godwit
Taken this evening. I've spent the last 3 days after work down at my local reserve in the bird hide trying to get a shot of this visitor to our shores. After little success I decided to come out of the hide and plonk myself down in some nearby reeds and wait till the Godwit hopefully came into view. Which it did, eventually :smile:

Anyway I'm pretty pleased with this shot. I know the whites are a little blown but I can live with that. Taken with 500f/4 and 2x on tripod, iso 200, 1/400, f/11, -1/3EC

Thanks.

Beautiful bird, must be very pleased with this.
The whites don't worry me, but if they do you its easy to clone from a none blown area and adjust.
Nice one
