I think this is Little Stint. Nice composition showing the habitat. The low angle with the reflection adds to the composition. Thanks for sharing.

1/8000 shutter speed? I have never ever used it in my life. In very shaky boats, even with heavy lens at times I go up to 1/3200 or 1/4000 for birds in flight. It would have been great if you would have traded some of that shutter speed for depth of field i.e. if you would have used a narrow aperture like f8/f9 then the depth of field would have been better and more areas would have been in focus. Habitat shows the relationship with a species and makes it better, however using a wide aperture like f4 doesn't show the habitat well. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
