Common Redshanks & Terek Sandpipers

28th November 2010,  Jeram, Kuala Selangor.

It has been a while since my last outing. Got my Nikon D7000 on Saturday night so I just had to get out and  give it a real test.

Drove to Jeram beach to see if the shore birds were around.  It was still high tide  and not much of the mud flats was exposed. They were the only group in the area consisting of Common Redshanks and Terek Sandpipers ( smaller with upturned bill). Lighting was poor and it had started to drizzle when I began shooting.

The D7000 is definitely a vast improvement over my trusted D90. Improved  High ISO performance, 16.2mp and faster continuous auto focussing just made it a lot easier to obtain sharp images.  In my opinionit’s well worth the investment.
