Spotted this Black -fronted dotterel two days ago at Gold Coast Botanic Gardens and managed today to get a couple of shots away. Terrific little bird, a juvenile I think going by the coloring. Amazing aerial agility which I did not suspect, Was chased by a couple of Welcome swallows who could not catch it in a dog-fight over the lake. Can turn on the proverbial sixpence in the air. Amazing. No pics of this ... far too fast!
Awesome find!

Well done, looks like you were able to get reasonably close to him.
