Hi Guys,
Went out for a day at the beach yesterday to shoot some waders. There where a few of these cute little Ringed Plovers and after crawling the beach for 50 meters towards them i was able to get some really nice shots of these.
Unfortunately two people came asking me what was so special that i had to crawl 50 meters towards it over the beach.......Well....so much for the Ringed Plovers that day as they flew off right after seeing these two large guys behind me......
p.s:Posted another from this series in the Avian Chapter...
Greetings,

Very nice Jeroen. Like the DOf here and exposure looks great

Great stuff as always Jeroen, But I prefer the one in the Avian gallery to be honest because that wing stretch is brilliant!

Ah to be near the sea, must be wonderful. great shot love the tones and DOF, I like both pics it performed wonderful tricks for you.
Looks like you had a good time with them before they were spooked... both great shots.

What cracking detail you've captured here. Lots of these near here and I've taken several shots but I can see that I'm not getting close enough. I'll have to get the knee pads out.
