Grey Plover in Knot Roost
3:1 crop of FF.
600mm/Tpod
1~10th/800ASA/F4
USM applied universally which actually makes the unsharp Knot even more unsharp :-)
Taken at Snettisham pits this October just before sunrise (hence the ASA) on what was a drab cold morning. This poor bird was alone admist 10000's of knot that where moving around constantly - it was rock still.
The birds come into the pits looking to get away from the highest spring tides; there where about 30000 knot in the pit and they all left at the same time as a sparrow hawk flew over - pity I had a 600mm on the camera http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/smileys/icon_wink.gif
