Wading Willet
I booked a week on the North Carolina coast to shoot migrating birds-well that was the plan-2 great days and then gale force winds ended the session early, I took this Willet just outside my appartment on the beach during some of the better weather

Nikon D300 600F4+1.4x

Hi Dave,

Very well exposed, nice details in the white's. Colours look really good. I knows it's bubbling surf but also could pass as snow!!!

There is a very slight sharpening halo along the top edge of the bird.

Hope you are settling in OK.

Regards

Rob
