Avocet in flight

I love these birds - such striking plumage and so graceful in flight

Lovely

Nice one, Alan. Good position on the bird, good techs, and a clean BG. There are some sharpening artifacts. I don't recall if you've mentioned in another post, are you shooting RAW or jpg?

Thanks Dan. I shoot exclusively RAW. Following on from previous advice I'll be sharpening in a slightly different way in future to hopefully eliminate the artifacts

Nice capture Alan,

Can't say I recall having seen a still image of one in flight before, normally I just seen them wading/feeding.

Well done, Dave
