grey-tailed tattler

On the left are two turnstones on the beach, the tattler on the shoreline and two grey plovers and two godwits in the water. On the right behind the three dunlins and the two other turnstones are two great knots and two more godwits.

Cairns beach

one of the last ones to fly off at the incoming tide

There will be a few flight shots over the next day or two as it was too windy yesterday here for many sitting shots handheld .

Still showing some of the summer plumage.

One of many Tattlers resting up at high tide

This Tattler was at my local beach the other day with an obviously damaged wing . On an incoming tide I was unable to reach the bird so it's fate was probably not too good .
