Description

Hi Guys,

Went back to my Black-tailed Godwitt pool this afternoon to get some more shots of them. The light was real nice again and I was able to get reasonably close using a Camouflagenet over me. There where some people looking very weird t me, but hey... sometimes you gotta do strange things to get the shot!
This time I decided to include some other birds in the BG.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel
