    Super flight angle, and well exposed. You have managed to capture this with enough head separation from the wing.

    Neat flight, very sharp and with a very clear eye contact.

    This image is really outstanding. It's not often I have seen an avocet photographed in flight. Love the angle, the light and all the detail under the near wing.
