I headed over to Portishead`s coastline a few miles from my home this morning and the weather forecast was for bright and sunny spells between 9am-11am this did not occur as it stayed mostly cloudy so i had to push my ISO up to 1250 to achieve a good enough shutter speed to capture some nice sharp images whilst photographing these lovely little wading birds, there has been quite a bit of talk regarding noise issues with high ISO on the Canon 7D but I hope these images show that they are more than use`able
