Light a little too contrasty for me but I was reasonably pleased with the end result!

I think we would all be reasonably pleased with an end result like this! Great shot.

Hi David,

It's good to see you posting again.

A very nice image. Love the open beak and the colourful background makes a wonderful setting.

Makes a change from the usual muddy Dunlin shot.
Nice one. Maybe a tiny bit "hard ".
Cheers

Despite the harsh light David, the image is still a corker. Always nice to inject a little life into a picture by releasing the shutter at the 'decisive moment' - the open bill lifts the shot.

Cheers,
Chris

You couldn't ask for better in that light David - the open beak makes it for me too, and that BG ain't half bad either

Really nice early summer shot David - a change from winter plumage on mudflats that's for sure!!
