I've been grounded for a while, so nothing much to post except our holiday to Port Macquarie (gift from my parents).<br />I always love your shorebird shots and reading how things are going in the GS Straits. Have you made it down our way to the Pumicestone Passage recently? I'd love to know how accessible the shorebirds are with my 250mm reach. Unfortunately we won't be able to come up your way again in the next 6 months or so as I am due to have shoulder surgery in November but I'd love to try out the Pumicestone Passage before then. <br />Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17541748309832254889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-10713326270422890722013-10-19T04:56:10.320+10:002013-10-19T04:56:10.320+10:00I am feeling jealous that you are out photographin...I am feeling jealous that you are out photographing shorebirds. I think nearly ALL of the ones that pass through Ontario on their way south from the Arctic have already done so. Now I must wait till spring.

I also am intrigued about photography from your kayak and will keep an eye out for any photos you might post of equipment & how you set yourself up (hint!!)! I don't have a kayak (yet) but spend a lot of time near a similar sort of spit at the top NE end of Phillip Island in victoria.<br />I would be very nervous with my camera & long lens on the water!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18437818695936372671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8109980962343059479.post-19478570223209272762013-10-17T08:54:36.486+10:002013-10-17T08:54:36.486+10:00Hi Mick..
