It looks like a Sanderling to me Kris.
As far as I know they're spread out along the shorelines the world over...
...but I could be wrong.

I guess there is no PF as it isn't a very high contrast shot. As I have said before, for a 40 quid lens I am not complaining!

There were two varieties of bird scooting along the shore. Quite small ones which were very quick (bit bigger than a robin, a little smaller than a blackbird) and these ones which were bigger (bigger than a blackbird but leggier and thinner than a pigeon) and seemed less anxious to run away when I pointed my lens in their direction!
Best wishes, Kris.

I think what you have captured there is a Sandpiper. Sanderlings are slightly smaller with shorter beaks, and have mottled markings on their backs and wings for most of the year. See, I knew being a member of the Young Ornothologists Club during my childhood would come in handy one day!
Nice shot by the way, I like the detail in the foaming water around it's legs.

£40 for a lens that can do this? You had a bargain, Kris. Very nice shot. Did you have to boost the contrast much or is this pretty much what you got out of the camera?

P.S. I think a couple of weeks in Florida would do all shivering contributors to these pages a power of good!

I upped the vibrance a little, tweaked the curve a little, cropped a little to get the chappie on the thirds, and sharpened. All fairly minor tweaks.£40 for a lens that can do this?

Although this was on a beach in Florida, it was minus 1C at the time. Brrrrrrr...
The £40 was because Jessops were selling off all their Pentax gear. They sold out of the lens I wanted but offered me the Tamron at the same price so I took it. One day I'll splash the cash for a DA* 300 but for now the Tammy does me fine, thank you.

This is the smaller of the two species of bird on the beach. Much quicker and more skittish than the first type, and more often in groups.
Best wishes, K.
PS. Yes, I know it isn't all that sharp!

Kris, excuse my ignorance, but what's "vibrance". I looked for it on my antidiluvian version of PS CS but can't find it. Perhaps it was a later enhancement.
