Another speeding Dunlin
Here is another one of the juvenile Dunlin, taken a day later. This is probably the sharpest of my flight-shots of him, but somehow I prefer the top view in my last photo.

1D MarkIII + 500/4; iso800, f5, 1/2500. IS off, handheld, 70% of original.

Those wings are certainly going some Helge :wink:

Nice image but I prefer top views too - so rarely seen really. But a cracking shot all the same Helge :toast:

Hi Helge,
Superb capture and very good use of a very difficult skill to master , very envious indeed.

Kind regards
Andy... :smile:
