Backlit Curlew

Not a very-detailed image of this Curlew. I decided to go for a rim-lighting effect because the sun was on the 'wrong' side of the subject. This was taken on moorland near Derwent Edge in Derbyshire. The fire--damaged heather that the Curlew is standing amongst gives away the fact that this area of moorland is, unfortunately, managed for grouse shooting.
