Bécasseau cocorli - Calidris ferruginea - Curlew Sandpiper

A real distant record shot but the best i got sorry

had another morning in the desert, watched a kestrel attacking a hoopoe lark, and the lark doing it best to survive, wonder how it ended up. anyway i also took a drive to the shore to check if i see anything interesting, and i found this which is a lifer, nice end to this year. hope you like it.

Lost a lot of opportunities this morning as I discovered that the 1.4 TC was still attached and I was hand holding . No end caps with me so couldn't just remove and place in the pocket. Must be an age thing LOL.

To go with the shot posted by Joelle today .

Photographed on the same day and in the same place as the golden plover and the kestrel whose images i posted a few weeks ago.

One of a small group of three that were running around on the high tide today. Pity the sun did'nt shine!!
