Titchwell in September - Bar Tailed Godwit
 

One of the species I was able to get quite close to on Titchwell Beach was the Bar Tailed Godwit. There were a number of birds in and amongst a bigger flock of waders. I had to move very carefully across the barnacle covered rocks to get close. Having the lens mounted on a monopod is really useful in these circumstances.
 

I was able to capture group shots, like the three birds below.

But I was particular keen to isolate individual birds as they fed in the pools along the shore.
