 |

Yesterday afternoon I went down to the seashore and took a couple of pictures of the many waders that are with us for winter.
A ringed plover. We do see these most of the year.
Dunlin in it's winter plumage. |

I really don't know anything about birds, but the more I'm browsing here, the more I'm starting to like them!
That first picture is a beautiful little bird! Good job at taking the picture!

I just sat on the shore line keeping very still and the birds just walked within 15 foot of me. Very accommodating. |

So what type of telephoto lens did you use for these great shots Adrian?

For these shots I used a Nikon 300mm f2.8 with vibration reduction, plus a 2X converter. There is hardly any cropping of these pictures, just enough to enable then to fit onto A4 paper size.  |
