Bird ID please?

I was sitting on Ft Myers Beach watching this little bird going about his business, and busy he was. I think it is a Willet, but am not sure. Help much appreciated:biggrin: .

IT is a Willet Nancy. The Western variety. Nice shots.

Thanks:smile: . I now wish I had gone out to the beach more. There are lots of birds moving about the shore and they seem fairly acustomed to the people. But, they do not sit still very much

. A high shutter speed is definitely needed. I am glad to have gotten the name right:smile: .

Cheers

That would make my day! Anyways nice capture Nancy. I bet if you get there earlier you'll have even better lighting and maybe more birds too!
