Hi Guys,

Spent the weekend over at Texel I had great weather and loads of species.
This Red Knot was very cooperative and we got some nice shots of it.

Here's one in backlight..

I think this is great Jeroen, the lighting is lovely. I don't normally like seeing bird's heads straight on but here I think it works well as the bird is walking towards the camera.

Nice walk-in shot Jeroen. Also the waves gives its something extra.
