Friendly?

As the Pectoral Sandpiper walked down the beach in our direction it let out a peep like it was questioning us, are you friend or foe? We, of course, didn't respond it paused for a moment then continued towards us. Colours, bokeh etc compliments of Nikon and the setting sun, not photoshop, I'm loving my D850 with the Nikkor 200-500mm.

Pectoral Sandpiper

A bit bewildered by the cameras amongst its food, the Pectoral walked up to us then around us and carried on down the beach. A life bird for me :)

The neck is elongated while having a serious look at something over the water could have been the pair of Eagles that were hunting as the sun was setting. More of this shoot at www.melanieleesonphotography.com/Birds-of-British-Columbi...
