Certainly a unique photo opportunity.

More natural perches would have been nice although these are probably well used and as is often the case part of their habitat.

I might add a bit of room all around.

I also like that both heads are facing to bird's left.

Dave thanks for your reaction. I had no more room around the birds because this is full frame. I could back up with the car but I forget too do that.....sorry !

Beautiful birds, soft light, and I don't mind the perches. Head angle on the godwit is better than on the redshank. And yes, if it fits with your personal ethics adding some canvas top and right would be easy.

Or, you could have removed the 1.4X TC :)

Where exactly? When exactly? I will be visiting Holland next spring mainly to photograph Black-tailed Godwit :)

Arthur thanks for your reaction also. This one is better then the last one I hope. I read your book again and hope it will be better.

And the place where I tmake this one is Arkemheen nearby zeewolde/putten near Amersfoort holland .

They are there now best for shooting in the earley evening

YAW. The next time that you drive by that spot you should break off some of the ugly vegetation :)

thanks for the info. I will pass it on to Peter Kes.

Interesting to see two species in one image...Love the BG...Not great the un-natural perch and I also wish for a bit more room....TFS Willem
