    At least the most beautiful shorebird perhaps?

    These little guys are incredible arent they? They live up high in the Andes mountains in Peru and Chile. They can only be found at elevations above 4500m :shock:

    Be prepared to be out of breath if you ever go and try to photograph them ;)

    All the best!

    He is a pretty one and sounds like a challenging shoot. I'm really liking the mossy ground

    It sounds like you really had to work for this one, Glenn, but it was really worth it. Very nice composition and habitat detail
