Not a great photo of course but how often do you see a Dunlin running around on a picnic table next to a big ashtray?
This individual was in a big busy car park up in the hills in Shiretoko. What the hell was it doing there?
Taken with a cheap nasty compact digicam.
Very quiet in Hakodate the last week or so, nothing to photograph except Night Herons and no migrants except the ultra common ones.
Very funny and unusual!
ReplyDeleteHahaha that's a very nice catch Stu!
ReplyDeleteThe bird looks tiny comparing to the ashtray.
Nive pic Stu!
ReplyDeleteWow how funny and original this guy is!!! Yeh I know behind happy about a chaffinch can be funny, but there are usually none over here and I could see thousand in France ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy first impression was that of a photoshop job.
ReplyDeleteI would have never expect this!
Thanks for the comments, nope Galllcissa it wasn't photoshopped, it really was sitting on a wooden picnic table nearby a public toilet in a car park......
ReplyDeleteHi Chris, I was pretty happy seeing an Oystercatcher the other week!
It just doesn't look right seeing a Shorebird away from the shore! ;)
ReplyDeleteNice photograph, Stu.
