    The shorebirds are returning to Australia from their northern hemisphere breeding grounds(mostly Siberia). Some birds love it so much here that they choose to stay all year long :cool:
    Unfortunately the tide was on its way out so I was forever chasing the birds. This weekend I will try again with more favorable conditions(crossing fingers) I really need to fill the frame.

    Nice habitat image with good low perspective Chris.
    With the 2x tc and 40% crop, it is looking a little soft, especially around the head.

    Although a bit soft from the crop, I like the low angle and the intimate feel of this image. Hope you have more favorable conditions this weekend.
