As a farewell to the shorebirds I thought I would put somne of my own photos up from long reef. In response to the first comments they are ruddy turnstones and pacific golden plovers.
Slight change in levels and a small crop

Hi WhistlingDuck and Shoop,
Sorry I didn't mention what they were, they are ruddy turnstones and pacific golden plovers.
Cheers Babybirdwatcher
Thanks BBWatcher ... nice pics you caught them in a lovely light
Cute little birds, beautifully caught in that light.
I think the Ruddy Turnstone has one of the most adorable names ever.
