[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I took this in the morning in our park never seen this in the park before.
It’s very little water in the river, some parts are most dry or muddy and this little fellow like the muddy parts. I saw it yesterday when it was on wings. Today I return to the same place and yes he/she was left. I not really sure but I think this is a Wood Sandpiper .
I think waders are very difficult to ID correct.
I got help from my Swedish Photosite, this is a GREEN SANDPIPER

O, yeah Gert! I'm so glad that duck season ended! There is so many beautifull birds - like this. Cute one, in funny pose, detailed and with good POV. Reflection on the water looks great. Pity about leaf on BG - it is slightly disturbing.

Excellent shot of this wader with reflection Gert. Very good sharpness and details with good control of the whites..Great PP work also..Very well done!

Gert, what a shot. The reflection is fantastic, it's as though the bill is coming out of the water from under. Excelent composition and details. Beautiful.

Mike

A wonderful capture Gert.
Excellent composition and a great reflection.
The colours and detail are both vivid and impressive.
The light coloured leaf behind its head is just a very minor distraction and it would be better if it was'nt there but we cant have everything!
Great work,very well done.

A fantastic shot, stunning detail. The reflection is brilliant.
The leaf is quite distracting, and could be easily cloned out.
Well done and tfs.

Wow! What a fantastic reflection Gert! :) Superb composition, POV & DOF. Excellent, razorsharp details and great colors. A treat for the eye. One little point of critique; the leaf behind his head is a little disturbing, but only a little. TFS!

Excellent composition despite the unfortunate leaves behind the head. Sharpness is wonderful and you were very lucky getting close enough to take such a fine shot.
