Frypod, mud and Dunlin

I had great time yesterday crawling around on my tum in some rank mud, and it was also another outing for the 'frypod', my ASDA frying pan adapted for mounting a Wimberley head and camera on so it will slide about on the ground.
The advantage being that you can stay low down and move around without breaking the skyline thus spooking the birds, I store spare batteries, CF cards and my specs in the pan so they are readily to hand....... it works a treat! Pix below are :- Canon EOS 1Ds MkII and 600mm with 1.4X converter on Frypod and 3 shots of Dunlin
