Black-winged Stilt (Himantopus himantopus)

Quite pleased with this, as it flew over out I just pointed the camera at it and got off one shot, it wasn't until after this I realised I had the TC on, would never even have tried it if I'd known. Just goes to shown don't miss any opportunity, it doesn't cost anything shooting digital.
