Common Greenshank at Kappad

[Roopak Gangadharan]

Common Green shanks are quite common at Kappad a quiet beach near Calicut where Vasco da Gama is supposed to have first landed. The slightly upturned bill is a good field mark. I do have some close up shots but liked this better.


500D 55-250, 250mm, AE, f7.1, ISO 200 SS 1/400 cropped for composition. C &C welcome.

Nice flight shot. Good eye contact. The waves in the background give a nice feel of the habitat. Thinking if cropping out the sky would have been good. Look forward to more. Thanks for sharing.

The overall feel of the habitat has come out well. Good effort with an intermediate lens.
