Lifer on the beach

Lifer on the beach (Esacus giganteus)

An early start today, for it's the end of my stay with Ken and Judy, most generous and kindly hosts!

We first headed to Bribie Island, just north of Brisbane. Our first stop there was Kakadu Beach, a shorebird sanctuary.

Ken had one [I]main[/I] object for me here, so after a quick look out from the hide we then walked along the promenade until the view opened up.

.... and there they were... a pair of handsome Beach Stone Curlews!!! Or Beach Thick-knee if you prefer.

Excellent capture Delia, focusing spot on, despite the grasses in the way. Handsome strikingly marked birds, unmistakeable I imagine!
