This bird was walking along the pier at Port Dover to my great surprise. Unfortunately it picked up not only food items like tiny bugs but fishing line as well.
Thanks for looking.

Excellent environmental image revealing the tangled fishing line, Karl. Always disturbing to witness this, but it reveals the challenges these birds face daily.

Beautiful yet disturbing. Nice low angle to set the bird against that wonderful BG.
