Flocking Banded Stilts
My first thread here. Thanks for having me aboard.
Most of my flock shots are duds. There's a lot to control and a lot of luck is needed but I'm happy with this one.
These guys feed on coastal wetlands but when ephemeral salt lakes hundreds of kms away start to fill they head off to breed there. It's not known how they know. They can cover up to 1000 kms in a day and they carry up to 50% of their body weight in eggs.
Taken at Avalon, Australia. Sony A9 + FE400 + 2x TC hand-held. 1/1500s, f6.7, ISO 320. Small crop of right edge.
