Common Sandpiper "Submitting"
Taken on Loch Scridain on the Isle of last June, there was a call from a sibling from down the loch Shore and the bird started this submissive behavior were it bows and lifts its wings

Canon 7D canon 500mm f4, F5, 1/1250sec, ISO 320

Interesting shot, never seen this behaviour. I also like the light on the bird. Well done.

It's a splendid behavioural shot Ron, and with excellent detail. The setting is lovely too. :toast:
