Black-tailed godwit in backlight!



Nikon D3, AF-S VR 600/4.0 with 1.4 TC

Yesterday evening, I visited again polder Arkemheen to search for photographic opportunities. It pays off to visit a certain area more frequently. The activity of the black-tailed godwit was high. The males were defending their females and their territories all over the area. However, photo opportunities seemed to be limited until ................... in the last light, I found some birds bathing in the pools that were present on the meadows. We had extensive precipitation during the last week. The back light gave a special atmosphere to the pictures.

I hope you enjoy the ambiance in the pictures!

Cheers,
Dirk-Jan
