    Default Ruddy Turnstone for Tom

    This was taken late yesterday afternoon after bumping into Tom Rambaut at the local marine reserve.

    You needed to be a lot higher or a lot lower. A bit more head turn towards you would have helped. SH and EXP good.

    Ditto Artie, plus an extra round of sharpening especially to the face to bring out the fine detail. Nice perch, and well expossed image.

    Thanks for the feedback. I Totally agree. I dislike the rock in the bg. I much prefer a cleaner blue bg. What do you know about the moults of these birds? I think it might be a first year imm, but I'm not overly certain.

    I wish I could, but we had our first child in Jan and we're down to one salary until the missus gets back to work next January. Money's a bit tight at the moment, hence the reason I haven't renewed my membership or been participating too much lately.

    Good luck with the baby and thanks for your past support. I think that this is a worn adult going into basic plumage.
