A lesser Yellowlegs bringing a foot up to rest (warm?) and caught in action. I cropped the shot for composition but the scale is provided by long reach of the spotting scope in my digiscoping rig. I like the attitude of this bird, with the slightly parted bill.
Nikon Coolpix P300 behind the 15-56x Vario Eyepiece on the ZEISS DiaScope 65FL. Equivalent field of view of about a 1250mm lens. 1/640th @ ISO 160. f3.7 effective (limited by the camera).
Processed in Lightroom for Clarity and Sharpness, and cropped from the right and top for composition.
And here is a bonus shot, pushed out to about 3000mm equivalent. 1/400th @ ISO 160. f8 effective (limited by the scope). Again cropped from top and right for composition.
Great shot! Love the reflection as well!
Great, enjoyed much
