A Curlew Sandpiper from a couple of weeks ago, this little fella let me get quite close to him, I nearly did my knees in creeping up on these waders.

A beauty! I like the mute tones and the glistening mud on the beak.

Cracking image Karen!
Ps. Get some knee pads to go over the waders, I'm sure you'd look wonderfull!

Regards,
Paul.

A lovely shot Karen, the low viewpoint is perfect

Don't need knee pads, just lay in the mud, it's good for your skin you know

Well done.

Geoff.
