Very nice image Allan. Great light and exposure.

Nice clean image. Good low angle and the raised foot adds some interest to an otherwise standard portrait. A good look at the plumage in transition to its non-breeding coat.

Lovely light and pose. This BG works with this bird. What a difference from seeing them in breeding plumage. I saw a number of them this summer but they were much more skiddish than in past years.
