I went out to Brownsea Island on Sunday as they will shortly close for the winter and I wanted a shot of a Red Squirrel. Long story short, I went into the hide overlooking the shallow harbour area and never moved for the rest of the day. Best wader action I've seen this year (still haven't been to Norfolk). I never got a shot of the squirrels...

Hi Rob,
Nice shot, great comp and the light has a very nice feel to it! I think its a Spotted Redshank though......nice bird!
Cheers,
Lewis.

Yup I thought the bill was far too thin for a regular redshank as well

Very nice indeed and like the reflection. Never seen one of these before.

Very nice love the light and colours

Superb light on this one! Overall, it's gorgeous!

Thanks everyone.
The only downside to this location is the thick black ooze (which is why the birds are there). Everytime they lift a foot or beak out of the water it is covered in thick black gloop.
It was a fun test for the 7d though and a few birds I had not seen too often before.

I see DP Review are today reporting a problem with the 7D in multishot mode - transfer of edge of image between frames. Good to see Canon maintaining their current reputation of Beta testing their new products by the general public.......

Nicely done Rob, lighting and the broken reflection are very nice.
