The Sanderling (Calidris alba, syn. Crocethia alba or Erolia alba) is a small wader. It is a circumpolar Arctic breeder, and is a long-distance migrant, wintering south to South America, South Europe, Africa, and Australia. It is highly gregarious in winter, sometimes forming large flocks on coastal mudflats or sandy beaches...

Runs along the sandy beaches it prefers with a characteristic "bicycling" action, stopping frequently to pick small food items. It eats small crabs and other small invertebrates.

Jopé Victor, no sabes la alegría que me dá cuando tras un tiempo sin participar en la web vuelvo y me encuentro con que seguís aqui fieles a esta afición tan estupenda.

Y es que tengo que decirte además que cada día te haces más mago de las imágenes porque tienes una galería.... preciosa, preciosa, de verdad... de las más bonitas que he visto por aqui.

Y por cierto, anduve por tu web.... y con una música y unas imágenes tan dulces desde el principio... me ha encantado también la sección "Acta est fabula" porque son imágenes cotidianas pero capturadas con unos ojos que las convierten en especiales y únicas... en fin, que me ha encantado.

Un abrazo y hasta prontito,

Hi Vicma

Lovely close-up with very good detail and exposure.

Muy buenas Victor,
Una preciosidad de tridáctilo el que nos muestras.
Con respecto a lo que me preguntas..... sobre digiscoping.
Te comento que, el digiscoping es la técnica de hacer fotografías mediante el uso de una cámara digital y un telescopio de observación terrestre (normalmente) esto creo que ya lo conoces.
Que recomendarte..... primero tienes telescopio, si es así de que marca, el digis se puede realizar de dos maneras acoplando la cámara directamente al ocular del telescopio utilizando para ello un adaptador que fije la cámara al ocular. O bien utilizando unos adaptadores que se acoplan como un objetivo a la cámara y depués al telescopio..... bueno te podría contar más cosillas.... pero para el siguiente capítulo. De todas maneras esta tarde noche te llamo y hablamos.
Vale?
Saludos

Hola Viktor,
long time no see, I hope you and your family are well.
This is a very fine picture, I specially like the low POV and the short DOF, the bird standout well from the BG.
It's well composed with fine details.
Well done, my friend.
Greeting to all from Gert y Siv

hello vicma!
very very beautiful!
good work!

Ciao Vicma, lovely walking birdr, fine details and excellent sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hi Vicma,
We have similar specie here as well. I like this pose you capture and excellent exposure. The only things missing IMHO are a little catch-light in its eye and a less centered composition :)! Have a good weekend!
Claudine

Nicely done, Victor.
Well composed and apparently a decisive moment. Excellent exposure as you acquired detail in the whites or highlights.
Finally the Sanderling is moving and despite the former your image has a good sharpness.

Image très subtile de cet oiseau au plumage tout en finesse dans un décor pierreux qui reprend les couleurs de son plumage. Oeil vif et noir, il semble bien occupé par la recherche de nourriture. Bien vu
