Field Notes

Description:

Perfect morning for photographing the birds close-up due to the tide keeping them close to the shore, any higher and they would have flown away while any lower they would have been further away. I sat on a dry rock by the low bushes and just waited for them to come closer.

Habitat:

Tidal riverbank
