Original - Red-capped Plover (Charadrius ruficapillus), Orford, Tasmania, Australia
Reason
I think I crawled about 500m on my belly during the course of the day where I got this shot. Heat haze became a very significant problem during the middle of the day (I couldn't get a sharp shot until some cloud cover came for a while). This is the best image available by far of a small and fairly wary species.
