Curlew

These are on the edge of capture (600mm) try and get closer and they are gone!

Lovely shot. Only ever seen these on estuaries or along the shore.

Nicely caught. I saw one once, when I was testing my 100-400. Didn't get as good a shot as that though

[mikbone]

that's a good shot!

Love the apparent  simplicity of this shot    and the D O F really helps the separation and consequently  makes the Curlew really stand out!  Well crafted shot Mik ... I really like this .

Good plan, you will hear em long before you see them, they'll be off if they see you even from a distance,  the above specimen was about 200 yards away. Good luck...
