A cute little thing at Swami's beach last week - I think she's listening for food type things squirming around in the sand.

I love all the sutle texture changes and the strong contrasts of feet and beak. Beautifully captured.

Nice close-up of this bird...the shadow in the wet sand almost makes it look like ice...oh dear, too much winter...need sunshine! ;-) Racine
