Sandpiper
D7000 500mm f4 ISO 400 1/1250s at f6.3 taken from car with lens resting on window ledge.

Taken at Lochindorb on a blustery day with waves pulsing onto the shore. The sandpiper did not seem to mind the occasional wave splashing it. Not an ideal POV but the rock perch is quite nice.

Many thanks for the comments on my last post, greatly appreciated.

Nick. :wavey:

I don't think there is anything wrong with the POV, you are low enough to throw the background out of focus and have produced a great shot on what appears to have been a miserable day.

Good looking shot, Nick. Love the perch and the pose. There are two pair of these at the Snipe site so hoping for some s
hots this year.

Many thanks folks and to Paul, very kind of you to say so. I am my own worst critic and am rarely, if ever, totally happy with a shot.
