Comment | Image specific (BiL 10.19.20_BOZ3799): I sat quietly in on a rock as the tide slowly came in, and as the water deepened, this feeding Australian Pied Oystercatcher ventured closer and closer to me. In the end, when my feet were starting to get wet, it came so close that I could not focus with the 500mm lens, and I missed a lot of really good, behavioural captures and had to satisfy myself with just watching. Still, this one with worm in bill just in the right spot, I reckon is a nice one (Species status (2016): Least Concern.) | ||||||||||||||||||
