Dunlin

Dunlin (eng.)
Almindelig Ryle (da.)
Calidris alpina (sc.)

Despite the scientific name (“alpina“), I’ve met this little bird only in Denmark…
Dunlin is very common on the Jylland’s strands, in wintertime.
And it’s quite confident, so I can go very close, til six or seven meters.
Enough to fill the whole frame, with the 500mm on DX camera.
