That is a really beautiful image, Freddy. What a great looking bird. The top-side view of the detailed plumage, the sharpness, the over the shoulder look-back... all great. Kudos!
Eye contact makes it ! Sweet image, guess Nickerson is heating up
Knowing how fast these beauties fly, I'm speechless. Sharp as it gets and a wonderful display of his back and tail.
Freddy, this is awesome, beautiful topside view!
Love the plumage from above! Nice work.
Very well done! Not bad for your first Red Knot !! ;-)
Great shot Freddy. Nice color, angle, bg. Congrats.
OTT Freddie...HAP can't touch you IMO.
Because of the details topside, I think a the slightly retreating flight is fully acceptable.
Sharpening is "right on" sir :)
bib big cograts on this one
A beautiful display of the colors and patterns of this bird, Freddy, I love the over-the-shoulder glance.
Simply oustanding Freddy. Love the wonderful detail in this flight image as well as the beautifully fanned tail and gorgeous BG. Love it !!!!
This is my favorite shot of yours Fred. Nice job!
Great light and details. I hope they will stay for a while and you will get more chances to photograph them. What shutter speed and ISO did you use?
Outstanding, Freddy! Details and sharpness over-the-top!
Would agree with all of the above... Exquisite detail and pose. Wish it were MY first red knot!
Very nicely done.

Killer image. Love the eye contact and the topside view.
Not too many times I have seen a Red Knot image like this. :) Thanks for sharing

Axel this was shot 320 ISO F.7.1 @ 1/700s I was walking the beach going after some peeps he was mixed in with the crowed. I started to get close to him he did not mind that I was there. I was firing away and he was coming closer and closer to me. an Osprey flew over and every bird took off that is how I got him. by the way I counted 63 Skimmers yesterday. they were all sitting on the beach. the Terns are all hereQuote:
