Here's one from yesterday. Photographed on Leasowe beach. I ended up spending most of the afternoon with this individual. Very confiding bird.
I was waiting for the bird to do a wing stretch or something, other than just wade about in the water but alas it didn't. So I had to settle with what I got but I was more than happy with that.
Hope you like it.
Canon 7D and Canon 500mm + 1.4 - 1/640 ISO 100 F5.6
Good profile pose, nice details, low angle works well. I could see a slight CW rotation applied, and some of the very brightest whites on the face seem like they could use some taming down a bit. All else looks great, always fun to spend time with a cooperative subject...
