Oyster Catcher
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 400 1/1250s at f7.1 lens resting on tree branch on river bank.

Taken earlier this year in spring (where has the year gone!? :eek: )on the upper reaches of the Spey. The bird is sat on a rocky island in the river preparing for the breeding season (hope it was successful). Many thanks for looking and commenting on my pal Robbie, he asked me to thank you all! All C+C warmly welcomed as always.

Nick. :wavey:

EXCELLENT ! Lovely gentle image. Head turn would have been the icing.

I agree with John about the head turn, but even without it I like the low pov that still manages to convey the habitat.
