Part of the flock at the northern end of the bay.
Mainly Gull-billed Terns and Eastern Curlews in silhouette against the light.
Part of the flock of Gull-billed Terns - quite a large number since breeding inland earlier this year.
Pacific Golden Plover - very difficult to see among the saltmarsh plants. These and the other smaller waders just disappear among the plants when disturbed.
Flying Past.
Spread out on the south-west of the bay.

Wish I had something similar close to home. Love that second photo!
ReplyDeleteHi Mosura, thanks for commenting. I think Eastern Curlew always make spectacular photos - even against the light as that one is! This is a great area and I am lucky to have it so close and easy to get to.
