Waders are great birds to photograph when they let you get close enough, these shots are cracking Nck.
All wonderful - LOVE the avocet!
I always look forward to when you have a new post; you never disappoint.
Enjoyed looking through your blog. You have a nice diversity of quality images. I'll be back. Blue Skies.
Great stuff again, Nick.
Excellent. Saw that Ken Conger commented. That guy is a hoot and the best wildlife photographer I know!
Cheers, Klaus
Thankyou guys :-)
What wonderful photographs of the shore birds. I can't decide which one I like best.
Beautiful series of images...looks like you managed to get pretty close to these birds
Thanks :-) I had to be extremely careful not to spook them , so moved very slowly and got as close as i could.
I must say that it was absolutely freezing on the morning I got those pics !
