Oh my goodness, Bob, I absolutely LOVE that beak, and what a gorgeous bird. Cloudy and dreary here too, but it's very warm for this time of year, and I'll take that!! :-) Happy day to you, my friend.
Brilliant Bob, the first image is my favourite. I am always lost what to do composition wise with my Curlew images, these two have given me a shove in the right direction. Thank you.
I like the rainy days, I love the autumn, but the shortage of light complicates the life of the photographers. Though nothing seems that it affects you;)
Excelentes capturas del zarapito al que en una ocasión conseguí fotografiar alimentándose en las rocas de la bajamar en la costa norte del Perú. Un abrazo,
Oh mine, what a beak, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe beak is great, thanks Maria.

ReplyDeleteExquisite beauty. My husby was just asking me the other day "what is a Curlew?"
ReplyDeleteWhat was a Curlew, I hoped that you helped him along Mary.

ReplyDeleteYour shots are just lovely.
