Bar-tailed godwit

Went out with Lovely lady this morning, to take some pics , after doing school drop off. After a few old faithful shots of the Cobb, it started raining (surprise? not lol) so we headed over to Axmouth to take a pic or two of the wildlife along the river, and to try out our new lens. At nearly two foot long even with a monopod the lens is a bit of a handful the slightest move is exaggerated sooo much. A bit more practice needed, and different light conditions, and i'll be a happy boy :-)
