Wet Lapwing
Lapwing bathing.
Sorry about the dirty coloured water but its in the red sandstone quarry again. The whole complex is to be filled in again so its time to move again.
Maybe the whites are a little harsh against the dark water.
D200
Sigma 100-300mm.

Nicely observed and taken shot John. you have captured the detail very well here and held all the colours of the lapwing precisely. A different perspective on the usual presentation of these birds and it works well for me. thanks for sharing.

You've captured the iridescence in the feathers beautifully :smile:
