We met a local birder & photographer up there, who showed us around the area he regularly goes birding. The tide was low and a number of migratory shorebirds were fossicking for food in the sand banks.
I zoomed in on this Eastern Curlew digging for crabs...
Now I am saving for a 1.4x extender to get just a bit closer! I'm loving the new lens though!!
Linking up with Stewart's meme:
Terrific shots Liz. Love the reflections! Nice lens, I have a 55-250, it's my favourite lens!

Aren't we all alike - always wanting that next lens! :)
Great looking bird - looks like a fine subject for a new lens!
ReplyDeleteI have yet to get any decent images of this species - always too far away no matter what lens I have!
