Monday's Critters
.jpg)
As am still show-casing Dunoon over at MENO blog, will share one of the 87 gazillion bird piccies I got... These are Turnstones. There were hoards of them busy harvesting under the seaweed. Not still for more than five seconds at a time, they were tricky little critters to capture; but I like that the photo sort of shows that busy-ness as the rock stays put!!
For the unfamiliar, Turnstones are a relative of the sandpiper species and are quite small... about 8 inches from tip to tip.
Taken with the 'Nik' on manual, 400ISO and exposure stopped up a notch, lens extended 5x optical.

Beautiful little birds! I love their feathers and snowy white breasts! Delightful capture as always, Yamini! And, as always, thanks for sharing!!
