Ringed Plover
1D2N, 600mm f4 is x1.4TC, 1/1250s, f8, iso 200. First light of day. Slight crop.

Just back from a few days in the Outer Hebrides. Got up 5am to catch the morning sun. This little fellow gave me the run around for half an hour or so - and he can't half run fast!

You did great catching this little chap on the move Ian,

Nice crisp result, and definately worth the early start :toast: :toast:

Hi Ian,

Hope you enjoyed your holiday!

This is a cracking image and to get him on the run too! Marvellous stuff!

Looks as though he should have Wile E Coyote after him.

Cheers

Lovely shot, he really looks like he is on a mission. Nice PoV, but that has lost the foot - it's hard to win them all.

Lovely shot, the leg lift really makes it for me, although that's slightly balanced out by the loss of the other leg!

Cheers,

Dan.

The raised foot makes it different which is good-well timed capture-maybe photoshop a nike on it :biggrin:
