Hooded Plover (Thinornis rubricollis, Lake Pollard, WA, Australia). Image has been cropped and sharpened. |
Thanks to the expert guidance of John Graff I finally caught up with a pair of these fantastic little birds - Hooded Plovers. The 6km (round trip) walk to Lake Pollard was well worth the effort. Also of note were the incredible numbers of Australian Shelduck (2500+) and Black Swans (1500+) on Lake Pollard. These Hooded Plovers take my bird life list to 258.

You're running out of "easy" species to see Greg! What's next on the target list?
Photo's turned out pretty well! Was a short 6km though I think!
Fair enough, felt like a long walk in my welly boots!
