Dunlin

This was Birdguides Photo of the Week for the week ending 28 December 2015. Here is the citation from the website.

It appears that Charlie Fleming has spent a lot of time staking out various waders using wooden posts at Turf, Devon, as perches. His patience and persistence have finally paid off with this lovely shot of a Dunlin trying to dislodge another from this prime position.

Shooting with a 500mm lens and a 1.4× converter Charlie used ISO 1250 to obtain a 1/6400th second shutter speed to freeze the action; the plain blue background leaves your eye free to follow the bird and wonder if it was actually successful in its exploits.

Congratulations to Charlie on his POTW, this the penultimate edition of the year.
