A good number of years ago, a group of Shore Larks stayed on one of the beaches that are at an acceptable distance from my home. That is to say, a few dozen kilometers. The species is a scarce winter guest here.
The birds mainly stayed in a field with dead Glasswort. Getting the birds "free" and with a quiet background was therefore an impossible task. So I tried to process them in the vegetation,..... the natural habitat. The backlight (front left) provided this somewhat surprisingly colored image.
