Photography of Birds – Set # 4 | H.J. Ruiz

What an interesting group of Black Skimmers, waiting for their turn to go fishing, they usually do not fish all together, only in small groups.

This oystercatcher was incubating at the moment, she had laid 2 eggs and the male was preventing the photographer to get closer. I used a long lens for this shot.

I really like the contrast between the long shot of the large group of Skimmers and the close-up of the Oystercatcher! Wonderful photos.

  Thank you, D, Yes, she was incubating. The male was trying to distract me away from their nest. 🙂

Great done. But a little bit difficult to capture this image.
