Nice capture, Yves. He looks pretty impressive here, you got some great detail of his markings and I like that determined look on his face. Wishing you a Happy New Year!

Description
I had the opportunity to view the courtship rite of a sandpiper. At the beguining the guy morphed to show a big torso. He walked a minute or two along the river bank to impress a female that has landed few minute ago on the grass a little farther in the back. (taken jun 2024)
