[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Very common bird in Gambia.
Spur-Winged Plover (Vanellus senegallus)

I wish i took with me my bigger lense, the lense I used is a 150 mm macro with a 1.4 extender...

Next trip to Gambia i'm bringing my 500mm for shore!

Hello Ronny,
This must be a Blacksmith Lapwing. A plover species.
It's a pity there's no photographer's note with some guidance. Guess the critique came before your note:-)
Sharp image with a extraordinary 'background'.
I should crop it a few centimeteres to the left composition-wise? Personal matter of course:-)
Thanks for sharing
Annick
