« on: November 23, 2016, 08:41:08 »
Not sure if these are Bar-Tailed Godwits or Black-Tailed Godwits ..........but what's in a name anyway.

All with D800E, AFS II 600mm f4 @ mostly f6.3, ISO 320 to 400, 1/1600th, tripod

Wonderful, as always. You lead me into the world of the pictured birds as if I was their companion. That is a very special talent of yours.

Fresh, crisp and beautiful Mongo.   

Reminds me of our old banknote of 100 Guilders with the Godwit as main character  and national symbol  ;)

Fabulous.  Tonally and colour-wise absolutely perfect. And not a hint of sentimentality.

Mongo, my arm is outstretched, with a big thumbs up on its end. Great presentation of a Godwit on the shoreline.
