Probably the most difficult bird to expose for correctly Sindri but you nailed it here mate - excellent work as usual!! Anyone can be forgiven a little noise in exposures such as these but it isn't obvious to me.
Beatifully presented.
Regards Alan.

Excellent series Sindri. I'd love to see how you always seem to get so close. Are these with the Bigma?

Yes, these are all with the Bigma.

Superb as usual, Sindri! How many 'throwaways' do you have when you shoot?

Depends on how you define "throwaways". ;-)a The keeper ratio with the Bigma in good light is very good.


Best regards

Sindri

Well shot. You've set a tough standard - I'm going to erase all my Oystercatcher photos and start over.
