Curlew Sandpiper

I saw this handsome bird while hiking around Thingvellir National Park in Iceland.
I must have waited for ten minutes for him to move his head so I could get a shot of his long bill.
He decided he was comfortable just the way he was so I decided this shot would have to do.

He didn't want you to read his bill as he muttered obscenities at the tourist with a camera
but nice shot anyway

This bird was waiting patiently muttering "take the #$% picture already" and he was right. It worked out well. "V"

Lovely colours and details of this sandpiper, Jane. V

an attractive bird with the russet colouring...bill or no bill, a fine shot, and perhaps more sympathetic in this pose..
