Reason: I think I crawled about 500m on my belly during the course of the day where I got this shot. Heat haze became a very significant problem during the middle of the day (I couldn't get a sharp shot until some cloud cover came for a while). This is the best image available by far of a small and fairly wary species.

Support. Another good shot. In this case, even though DOF is shallow, you get a really good sense of the environment with the shells dotted around, and the hint of the shore behind. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 09:57, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support, I'm not as sure about this one, but I do love the shells, as Diliff says. J Milburn (talk) 11:44, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support good image, but tail is a bit out of focus.

Support somehow I get the feeling that the focus is not quite right; i.e. it is focused on its wing instead of its eye and beak or something. Not sure, but it seems sharp and encyclopedic enough to deserve my support.
