Stepping out in style - on reflection!

Christchurch's Avon Heathcote estuary on a glorious winter's day. So lovely to see the sun! The birds seemed very calm as did the water, and I was able to get reasonably close without disturbing them. These are South Island pied oyster catchers fossicking in the mud after the full tide.
