I've a real soft spot for these little waders, they're really hardy, aren't they.

You've a super picture of this one Ann - very well done lassie.
 
Thanks for the reminder! I must visit the shore just up the fjord from here where a dozen or so of these tend to spend their winters. I keep hoping for a shot as good as this one of yours |=)|
