CommentThis was one of several Magpie-larks feeding along the water's edge. I saw them capture water insects and a frog. If I sat quietly they foraged right past me - so close that I could have reached out and picked one up. They knew I was there at the time. They came so close that I had to ratchet up the f stops to ensure some good depth of field.
