Long Billed Dowitcher having a scratch, Frampton Marsh RSPB, Lincolnshire. DSC_8644.jpg
It went AWOL all morning, nowhere to be seen, then suddenly appeared right in front of the Reedbed Hide in mid afternoon. 'Dashed' around there, hide chock full, got a seat, but shooting right into the sun as it refused to move across to the more equably lit right side of the hide. A frame filler - never had to work the point focus so much as it bobbed and weaved its way around the shoreline mud, feeding (I was stuck with the converter on - left the bag in the car in the afternoon - long story). Tweaked a bit on the computer to get some colour and saturation. Never seen one before so great to be there to see this UK rarity, irrespective.
Thanks for viewing and for the faves and comments
