Great shot! :shock: What is the bird flying over? Is it whitish mud or foamy water??

Oh, I like it! Love the suspended action over the foamy water. The shadow makes it look cool, too! Superb catch of the action!

Alister, a truly great curlew shot, comparable to Cliff Beittel's February 2004 cover shot and Jim Neiger's flight shot. A little more thought on the post-production would make it comparable to the images noted above. Congratulations.
