    Now there's some better light! clap.gif

    The Dotterel is very similar to the Killdeer we have here.

    #3 is a very nicely composed shot. thumb.gif

    Thanks Dan and Ric.

    I have noticed that the black-fronted Dotterel looks like your killdeer.

    Its been raining and overcast for more than a week here. The sun was out this afternoon which was a new sensation.

    cheers,

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
