Bar-tailed Godwit

[Greg Oakley]

One of our summer migratory waders from the northern hemisphere.
While in Cairns, I spent a lovely session photographing godwits. I timed the visit with a high-tide dawn, so I had to wade out into the water and shoot back into the beach.
Thanks for looking, Greg.

This is sweet. Love the layered bg and all the colors there in. The pose is excellent and your super low angle does it justice. Nothing not to like here.
