Just a few....

... thousand Banded Stilts! Plus the odd red-necked avocet and black winged stilt thrown in for good measure :)

Fabulous morning down south at Lake Cooloongup with two other birding buddies. It was total stodge territory and called for mandatory wellie wearing! All three of us almost went A over T several times - not cool when you are loaded up with lots of expensive camera equipment!

I was holding a Canon 7D and 400mm lens in my hot little hands (felt good!) when I almost went over!

Total number of lifers for me today: SIX !
