Ditto Peter on his light angle comments. The Dunlins do not "lose" their color in winter: they simply molt in gray feathers. BTW, this is a bird of the year in first winter plumage. Note that the median and lesser coverts have worn white fringes: those are left over from the juvenal plumage.

Alexander I like the water droplet at the end of the bill and the colourful foliage (Spartina?) adds a nice touch.

I like the contrast between the grey feathers and the colourful background. Angles and light mentioned. Droplet is a lovely touch.
