Same photographer See all Behind The Lens

Taken at one of my favourite local bird locations in Sth E Queensland Australia.

Being patient, waiting quietly, and then this little one flew in and landed right where I wanted him.

These guys are only around November to January in my area , but every year I keen to go back to Nudgee beach where they are active.
