Common Sandpiper

This bird is found throughout the subcontinent near rivers, tanks and creeks. Generally, hunts alone and feeds on insects, molluscs, worms etc.
It's the second time I am posting a sandpiper; this photograph shows the bird in much more details. I also love the reflection of the bird on the water surface. Photographed it with the smallest aperture possible with my H-7 to get a good reflection.

Photograph of a Common Sandpiper, a Migratory bird. Generally seen in shallow waters foraging small food items such as insects, crustaceans and other invertebrates.
In a photograph containing water and land bodies together, it always looks beautiful when one of the two is given only one third coverage. Like in the above photograph, the land covers 1/3rd of the picture and the water the remaining 2/3rd.
Photograph detail: f/4.5 , shutter 1/800 sec , Center weighted average metering.
