A water rail to keep me entertained while waiting for another jack snipe to appear. Canon EOS 1d M1v. 800m lens. 400 iso. 1/1000th at f5.6

 
 
 

You wait 40 plus years for one to come along in front of your camera and two come at once and get in each others way!

Jack snipe. 800mm lens plus 1.4 extender. 3200 iso.  1/400th at f8. It was almost dusk.

I have photographed Jack snipe once before, but not as close as this. I needed better light, but hopefully will try again.

 
 
 

Turnstone at 1/25th at f20 iso 200. 800mm lens. The beach was very attractive with a mass of seas shells, but the incoming tide had covered  most of it by the time I started taking pictures. Went for a slow shutter speed to blur the water.
