I am a big fluffy now
Every year I go to Eemnes to look for Godwits, and I have already posted many shots on my stream. I have always been trying to make pictures of their young, but until this year I couldn't make a decent shot of them. Many reasons, the grass is too long or my pictures are not sharp because it is difficult to focus on them or they disappear between the stems. And after a few weeks they are not visible anymore because the grass is too high.
Most frustratingly you know they are there because the parents always fly around your head, or they land very close beside you, making noise all the time, so you know their chicks must be around.
But if you persevere you might succeed, and here is one of the results. I chose this one because the Godwit in the background gives an impression how small this little chick still is.
