A wild looking bird nicely captured in decent light.
Is this full frame?
Well done.
Looks like your patience is paying off.

This is not a fantastic shot, but I am making improvement ;-)
Two days ago I went into the hide at another time than I've done before.
The
sea had just passed the highest point. So there where no birds there at
that
point. Spent a couple of ours with nothing going on, but then it started
to
happen. The birds came pretty close 10-15 meters. I had a wonderful time
;-)
They are moving fast, because they are searching for food. This makes
focusing pretty hard with the slow lens. I ruined many shots because of
this. But I feel my old skills are slowly coming back.
I came back with a bit more than 4gb of images. By accident I deleted one
card. I dumped them into a image tank, and did a mistake doing that. And
now
it feels that the best shots where at that card :-(
It's like fishing, the largest fishes are the one you loose.

Lapwing in English.
