I sent a copy of this to someone who gets a lot of email, telling him that as much email as he received, I was pretty sure that no one had sent him a photo of 3 Willets, let alone one. 😉 It was a cloudy day, but the lighting was even and diffuse and the water in the tidal areas were reasonably still.
For those thinking about their photography and how to improve it, compare the above with this one below. I was able to get close to them, so had to try, but the lighting and the background — yuck. I have the memory of spending some time with them, with the wind in my hair, the sound of gulls and other shorebirds, the lapping of the water…
