Ruddy Turnstone Arenaria interpres

A Turnstone in its breeding plumage ... :roll:
The shot was taken last Saturday at Deep Bay in the north western part of Hong Kong.

The spring migration for shorebirds is well underway and probably will last for a couple more weeks from now.

EOS-1D Mk II, EF500/4L IS + EF1.4x

Very nice KK--this does a fantastic job of showing off the wing colors. My attempts to get these guys in flight last weekend were futile.

Beautiful detail , bg, and pose KK, looks like it would work as a square or horizontal format as well to give the bird a little more room to the right. :D
Just havin' fun

This is awesome KK !!!!!!!!! Do you mean to say that this was taken right in Victoria island? Where is Deep Bay? I have been so curious about where you do your shooting, I lived in Hong Kong for one year, I was imagining that you shoot in Lantau or somewhere else. In any event, this is a gorgeous shot !!!!!!!!!! ------------ Ligia

Stunning KK! Do you use all points AF or a single sensor?

Well Done!

That is a stunning shot - what a cool looking bird. The head looks a hair soft to me as well but this is great otherwise.

You are "da man" when it comes to shorebird flight shots. I think this is the first flight shot of this species that I can recall......very beautiful patterning. Glad your spring migration is underway......hope you get many, many more!!
