Dunlin in flight
Another one from Norfolk a couple of weeks ago, dunlins are very fast in flight and are difficult to track but I was helped here as there was a redshank that had just landed and it slowed this little fellow down.

Canon 1D MK11, 500mm Lens, 1.4x Convertor, 1/2000, ISO 200

Hi Danny,

The water has a mirror effect and the light has given the Dunlin a metallic look which is very very nice IMO. The feet skimming the surface are the icing on the cake. Did you catch it at the point of touch down as well?

Good work

Regards

Not on this occaision but I did in another sequence but out of the hundreds of shots I took only two or three were any good.
