Curlew in Flight

Curlew in Flight, originally uploaded by Markonmersea.

There are talks about the Canon 5D MKII not being good to capture action, but so far I have found this to be the case. OK so a flying Curlew is not the fastest thing in the world, but you still have to track it through the air turning on your toes.

I'll let you be the judge of the shot.

Another trip down to East Mersea to photograph the shore and wading birds. I would love to get a real good close up of these little birds, but they are just to skittish.

I just love watching them fly in their flocks all synchronised, very beautiful.
