I took the high road, where I could collect better photographic evidence.
Both ‘shot’ and ‘hands’ used metaphorically. Right outside my door I get to see families of common gallinules (Gallinula galeata). Their chicks are known for having one (or two?) wing claws and giant feet fit for marshes. I was finally able to get a clear shot at a chick with 1600mm. It took some brightening, but I got a front claw.

This time it was funny at least!
I stammer and mumble a bit so it takes work to not butcher terms out loud. And I guess too lazy to type at times. I wonder how well dino dictation works for others. Or if you have any gems.
