Also known as the peewit in imitation of its display calls, its proper name describes its wavering flight. Its black and white appearance and round-winged shape in flight make it distinctive, even without its splendid crest. This familiar farmland bird has suffered significant declines recently and is now a Red List species.Canon 7D Sigma 150-500mm @ 500mm.

I think it is AT&T that advertised "reach out and touch someone," Count B. This one fits in that category. Magnificent at full zoom. The mirrored images are outstanding.

A marvelous shot, Richie! Excellent camera work at that distance. Great colors and detail. The pale blue water makes a nice background for the bird and his reflection. Nice work!
