This very cooperative young oystercatcher had just caught a Marine Worm, and in the process a seaweed got stuck in its bill. It managed to swallow the worm but the weed was abit more difficult to get rid of. It pulled and tugged on it, until it figured out that washing it away by dipping its bill in the water was an easier way to do it.
Canon 40D + 100-400L @ 400mm, manual exposure, evaluative metering, 1/250s., f/6.3, ISO 800 (settings histogram checked), natural light (overcast, rainy), handheld, FF (love the 100-400's close MFD!!)
I'm thinking of adding a bit more canvas above....
