Wood Sandpiper-Tringa glareola
Hi Guys,

Here's another from some time ago. I really liked the alert look this Wood Sandpiper gave me at 05.00 hours in the morning when it came in front of my hide.

Greetings,

Absolutely gorgeous image. I hope this one is hanging on a wall somewhere prominent.

Lovely shot the only thing that detracts from it is the reed just behind the bird.

Love this image and the idea behind it.

It has great colour and portrays a great mood. One nit from me, as mentioned the reed behind the bird also whilst it stands as it is I think I'd like to see what it looks like with the bird a little lighter.

Regards Chris

Hello Jeroen.

Cracking capture, as a really nice feel to it.

Stuinning as is but I might just remove the reed behind the bird as well.
