Always a mud feeder sadly because it means really getting down and dirty to get a low angle shot of these little Sparrow sized birds :w3....gotta be nutzzzzzzz :eek3: lol
From this afternoon from a man made swamp in the Adelaide Hills here, bright afternoon sunshine which was less than desirable, but beyond my control for this outing. Seen 4 of them feeding on the mud flats, very timid as usual, but laying down quietly seen one of them come a little closer after several minutes.
Canon 7D + 500 f4 + 1.4 x TC.....700mm, f6.3, 1/2000, ISO 500, hand held....cropped for composition, small muddy stick removed from mud, selective sharpen and noise reduction to backdrop
