    Hi Alwyn, Seems Ash Island is a real water bird paradise. Good shot of all the birds. Anita

  • Many thanks Anita. Yes this section of Ash Island was made from ash from the steel works when BHP was in Newcastle. It is now a wetlands for wildlife. It is a special place for waders but has many other birds there as well.

    Beautiful light and quality Alwyn… always a stunning time of day. These guys need plenty of respect when breeding.

  • Yes Phil, I am not sure if I am happy with this shot or not. The reflection seems better that the actual bird but that is because of the polarizing effect that the water has when it is perfectly still. Yes I have been attacked by these sever times over the years. I accept it as part of nature as I am sure that you do as well. We seem to have the same outlook on nature.
