More shorebirds part 2

[wigz]

A few more shots from the bay yesterday afternoon.

1. Juvenile White-bellied Sea-eagle


2. Bar-tailed Godwit in flight. I think they were spooked by the Sea-eagle.


4. Masked Lapwing. A very common bird but I liked the late afternoon light


4. Masked Lapwing again

Thanks eaglem

[AlfandBen]

Agree with David MC. All excellent shots but the Lapwings are superb, don't think we get them over here

[wigz]

Thank you Alf and Ben. They are quite common in the suburbs here. They lay their eggs on the ground in parks, footpaths and even car parks and can be aggressive if people get too close.

The lapwing are so well defined and sharp. Well taken..:-)

Lovely light on the lapwings Alan.

[wigz]

Thanks Isac, it was the light that prompted me to try the shots.
