Between showers was out with my Viper 80 HD at Spencer Park in Merimbula, NSW, which overlooks the Merimbula Bar. There's a narrow spit perpendicular to the FOV about 500-600 metres away.
Often there's a cluster of 2-3 dozen Artic Terns frolicing in the surf on the far side of the spit. Today there were terns 5 or more deep along the spit for 100 metres or more. A beautiful site, no doubt this is common elsewhere but it was new and visually quite captivating for me.
I had my Nikon P900 which has the reach to photograph them but I've never used the panorama so just enjoyed the view as the next shower came it.
There were several bar tailed godwits foraging nearby, fun to watch :t:
