Nice capture. Closest thing to a water bound "bird in flight" I've seenThis was the first time I've seen ducks propelling themselves across the water surface. They moved quite fast. There were a number of them and they appeared to be trying to catch up with mom. I assume they couldn't fly yet, but I'm not sure. As usual, I wasn't ready for the action. These were the only two shots that weren't unusable, notwithstanding the distracting log in the background.
Very nice shot of a Sanderling. Canon hit a sweet spot with the RF 100-500mm.Is this a Sanderling? I am really more and more happy that I got the 100-500. For the 1st image, I did darken the background, a bit in post. 1/3200 f/7.1 ISO 800 View attachment 200679

English is not my first language either - don't apologize: I didn't even notice your "mistake" (actually what you are talking aboutI'm sorry, I should have written "I read" instead of "I've learned". It was not a personal experience.
English is not my first language, I'm sorry for the mistake.
I'm far from expert too but just Google "Marbled Wimbrel" in case you don't believe me...I am far from an expert but the App “Seek” id’d the bird as such
Great capture bhf3737!
If the second photo is of the same bird - Sanderling for both: no hind toe! Otherwise it could be very complicated (at least for me...).Is this a Sanderling?
