I haven't visited this thread in a while , a lot of fantastic shots !!
here is one from my latest outing. I was trying to get some cleaner ground but this is the best i could get.I had to lay in the water to get low enough for a clean background but it was worth it.

Excellent shot Stuart, certainly worth getting wet for... ;) From this perspective the bird is really the eye-catcher, without any distracting background features; well done.
Looking forward to seeing more where this one came from!

cheers, Wiebe

Absolutely worth it.

I miss the 1D4 but only in the context of lower ISOs - slightly more compact and crop factor for tele - I recall many saying the same.

Seems all the birds are hiding or have gone south. So, I've been digging back into Haida Gwaii shots from May 2015.

Here's my attempt at a little humour or humor if you prefer. ;)
