Hiking in Seaweed

This little shorebird was quickly working its way through a patch of seaweed along the beach at Bolivar Flats. Appears to be a Dunlin with breeding plumage.

Taken with Canon 1DX and Canon 500mm F4 IS II lens with 1.4X teleconverter mounted on Skimmer ground pod with Wimberley II head

1/640 sec @ F5.6, ISO 1600, evaluative metering, +1 exposure compensation

The seaweed and clean background put a real focus on the Dunlin. Good capture. Is the seaweed hanging along he shore?

Thanks David. There was lots of seaweed on the beach when I was there a few weeks ago.
