Tsunami!!! Every bird for itself!!! (Pluvialis apricaria)

I must admit I was quite worried about the show I was seeing through the camera while lying by the scene!!! o:D These are the risks of trying to compose birds with nature! :-O

Hope this crop works after trying many different ones, I concluded the more I show of the wave, the better

A brilliant shot. I like everything about it: the sharp detail of the bird's plumage, the light-coloured bed of cockle-shells in the foreground contrasting with the dark menace of the sandy wave in the background.
