[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another image from late last Spring. The Willet is a shorebird with this, the Eastern Willet, staying strictly to the shore area where as the Western Willet will breed inland and then migrate to both east and west coast of the US. They have a very distintive wing pattern when in flight and in my opinion are very talkative birds. I will usually hear the Willet before seeing the black and white wing pattern while flying.

This past year I seemed to have seen more Willets than the year before...they are usually seen singly on beaches and are large heavyset waders.

Ślicznie wyszło piękne zdjęcie wspaniałe kolory naprawde SUPER!

Great picture Lesley.
Wow, I like this very much.
Beautiful colours, very good details, POV, composition and light. The soft FG and blurred BG makes a very good deep.
Great work.

This is simply beautiful!
I love these colours. They match great with the colours of the bird. Beautiful composition and wonderful BG.
Very well done!

Superbe photo. Les couleurs et la composition absolument parfaite. La prise de vue et la profondeur de champ superbes. FÉLICITATION !

Leslie this is not a picture but a portrait of the Willet. The soft focus on the BG and FG help bringing out and concentrate on the subject itself. Beautiful sharpness. Great work.

Beautiful composition Lesley. Good detail and superb colouration. Nice work again

What a beautifully patterned bird.It is similar in shape to our oystercatchers.The pinkish flowers or seed stalks add an interesting bit of colour too.The focus on the bird is perfect.Well done Lesley.

Very good exposure and very good catch.
the bushes at the fron are little bit disturbing, but it is worthy.

Hi lesley, real nice picture! Real good scharpness, i see more often good images with that lens of yours, thinking about getting it myself.. Never the less, you have done a great job!

The three levels are amazing. Exceptional depth in this shot. The contrasts are so nice. "Willet" here can be lucky to have his portrait taken in such a fashion and surroundings. Great post, Lesley.
