Turnstones at Maidens

Took a break and popped down to Maidens for an hour, and saw a couple of Turnstones. They are more tame than the Redshanks, letting you get a little closer, but soon they fly off.

Redshank at Maidens

It felt like a beautiful Spring morning today down at Maidens. No wind and the sky gave off a fantastic light. I wanted to try and get close to some of the waders down on the shoreline. The tide was coming in so I got myself into position just behind the sea-weed tide line. I laid down a plastic mat and lay down covering myself with the camo netting and had the camera resting on my bean-bag, and waited patiently.
