Dunlin – Calidris alpina
This single Dunlin (Calidris alpina – Alpenstrandläufer) came very close at the Darsser Ort, Germany, on the Baltic Sea in September 2010. It was looking for food and let me take some photos. The pattern of the feathers is beautiful.

Great photos. I like the way you have photographed the bird from different angles showing the patterns of the plumage.
Thank you Mick – actually the bird did the wandering and so I was able to take it from different sides 🙂
Beautiful shots, as always. I especially love how the water looks in the background when the bird and the foreground are so crisp and clear. I really enjoy the lines and the textures in these shots. Well don!
Thank you Kellie – I like the water in the background, too. It gives a nice contrast.
Absolutely wonderful detail and colorings! Your photos constantly amaze me-thanks for sharing your genius with us!
Thank you Bob for your wonderful comment!
Beautiful photos they really show the pattern of the plumage.
Thank you Neil.
I love them.:) You got some really good shots here. Enjoy it. 🙂
Thanks! To bad there was only one. But maybe that’s why it wasn’t that shy.
…the lighting, the detail–everything came together in these photos. Beautiful!
Thank you Kelly for your comment!
It’s back is soooooooo pretty! Nice shots. 🙂
Thanks Lana 🙂
Beautiful shots of it you got… If you want to see it in breeding plumage you should visit Iceland. Although I’ve seen some that stayed over here, quite incredible with the temps we are getting now…
Iceland would be nice for a birding trip anyway – I suppose…
Really beautiful captures!!
I had to stop by and see your photos of the Dunlin 🙂 Nicely done! You captured it in nice plumage too.
Gorgeous shots of the Dunlin Natalie! They are cool birds and that second to the last shot really shows the beautiful colors of the plumage on its back.
