Marsh Sandpiper
Tringa stagnatilis

(Above) Sailiyah West Sewage Ponds, Qatar, 25 February 2013 (EOS 7D, 300mm f2.8 + 2x Extender)

Among the most skittish of the Tringa waders, I cannot get close these exquisitely marble-plumaged waders in their summer finery. And just a little distance between bird and photographer introduces a lot of heat haze.
