A Curlew Encounter

I was at the Albany Mudflats again yesterday. This time I took the
20D with the FD500 f4.5L, FD-EOS converter and a monopod. Shots
take at ISO 400, f5.6-6.3, AV mode.

Thanks, Reigh and Reyno.
I think the old FD 500 did pretty well. It's manual focus and uses a FD-EOS converter
to mount on the 20D, so it's about a 600mm f5.6. Here's a shot of another Stilt with
the same set up:
