Dunlin
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 400 1/3200s at f8 lay flat on beach with lens resting on a rock.

Found a small party of Dunlin with some ringed plovers who were feeding along the shore line. This one has found something tasty!

All C+C warmly welcomed and may thanks for taking the time and trouble to comment on my last post. Much appreciated.

Not completely sure about the crop Nick but nice catch in mid action.

The crop does not worry me, but I do wonder if that oof stone bottom left ought to go.

I agree with David the pic would be better without the stone :wink:

For me it was fine, a very intent and busy Dunlin and I like the crop, only slight 'nit' for me is that a little bit of eye contact would have been nice (easy to say, but in practise not at all easy)
