Fluffed out feathers.
After foraging, this oystercatcher fluffed out his feathers.

Nikon D80 @ 420 mm, iso 250, F9, 1/800 sec on tripod.

Interesting capture Sandra. I like the action in this image but for some reason I want to see more of the eye! Very fussy I know and almost impossible during this kind of action, but just want something more to hold my interest..

yes I can see what Brett means.
Nice grab though. A case where the low angle works on this one.

I was also thinking that about the eye, but its a pleasing image nonetheless.

Agree with the above but I must admit I like the little droplets of water from the shake. Nicely captured

Agree about the eye Sandra, but never the less a very nicely detailed image.

Nice low angle and I like the water droplets. Funny, but it was the eye that also caught my attention. I suppose because it's usually so dramatic in this species.
