I like this very much, they are a favourite wader - and this is a nicely detailed shot. I like the calm setting too

That's a very nice portrait Phil and I like the inclusion of the falling drop of water.

A lovely image, all the better for that water drop.

Hi Phil

I agree with Kim, this is a cracking little wader.

The droplet gives the image an edge over similar shots.

My only slight criticism is the framing - I'd have liked to have seen the bird a little higher up and to the left a smidge to balance the image better. Nonetheless, this is a very competent record shot of a species I’m hoping to have a crack at soon.

Cheers,
Chris
