fabulous photo to start with Bob; really emphasises that wonderful long bill? or is it a 'beak'?? I kind of think ducks have bills and birds have beaks, but waders??
A big wonder how you have done these so beautifully againa and again as I tried some birding using my m34 on the 600mm end lately with not much success.
I've never seen so original bird. It is gorgeous !
