Wow. Just wow!

That first photo of the Crake is utterly stunning!

Mind you, why am I making a distinction? They're all stunning...

Incredible day again!  Some love for the Spotted Crake & Dotterel - I like their poses, but still looking at you getting that eye contact.  Beautiful birds!  Always the way for me, spotting BoP's where it's almost impossible to pull over safely - did you have to scoot off into a paddock again for the Wedgies Shorty? laugh  Brilliant shots!

Thanks, everyone.

Ruby, not this time. I had to make a left turn from the right turn lane, then drive up on the island between the divided road and cross 2 lanes of traffic on foot to get these shots (thats what hazzard lights are for isn't it?cheeky).

I was only standing 1 metre off the road and backed my lens to 250mm to fit them insurprise

Ah Shorty... erm...

I have no words sufficient to appropriately compliment these photos.

The dotterel is the one which stands out for me. I have seen first hand what a flighty little bird they can be. So wonderful to get a close up shot. :)

The Night Heron is quite the cutie too. :)
