No wonder they are called waders. Just after a rainshower the sun peeked through the clouds. The light was real nice

One of my favourite birds Hillebrand Nice low angle
.
Very nice light, composition and angle. It would be great if the little drop on the bill were more visible.
That is a beautiful picture with all the detail of the feathers .....nice light and angle too :)
Lovely light, I would crop a hair from the bottom but you have a winner here!
Lovely. Sharp, nice light. Good COMP. Can anyone age this bird? Later and love, artie
ps: Exactly where was it taken?
Beautiful light, composition, and pose. Lovely image.
Thanks for the kind words!
This Godwit was photographed in the Netherlands, Friesland. Friesland is one of the most Northern provinces in the Netherlands. It is where i live and organize workshops.
I can not help you with the exact age, but I think it is young young female. The picture was taken 1 august. Breeding season in the Netherlands is end of april till early june
I think it is an adult in winter plumage. The juvenile in winter would have more scalloped secondaries it would also be more rufous in tone.
