Redshank
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 250 1/3200s at f9 handheld.

Taken on Mull. Walking up a road and this Redshank was flying around me calling. I assume it had young or eggs in the adjacent iris beds. This was the best re wing position. Many thanks for your comments on my tawny owl image. All C+C warmly welcomed.

Shame the wings are down, but you have to take what you can get. Not an easy species to photograph in flight.

Thanks folks.

Keith, no idea what the lighter patch is, must be some kind of reflection off something below the bird.

Hi Nick a great image but I find it a bit dark.
