Dunlin

The week before last I was in Cornwall for my first holiday in ages. We arrived and had a little walk along a quay close to our accommodation. There wasn't much about until my wife spotted this dunlin on the shore as we were walking back to the car. I got my camera out and was trying to get a low angle but the sun was directly on the shore meaning the light was really challenging and the bird was also working it's way away from me. I then had a brainwave, off came my shoes and I waded out into the sea putting the sun behind me. Interestingly the bird instantly became more obliging coming much closer to me than when I was on the shore
