HI Carole I must apoligise for not getting back to you about the Sanderling. I did look it up and decide it was the Red necked Stint because in the 4th shots, the bird on the left has a hind toe and Sanderlings do not have a hind toe, also the flight feathers go further than the tail although this is quite difficult to see in any of your shots. apart from that, red necked Stints are your smallest wader (Aus)much small er than Sanderlings although you have no way of knowing size from you shots either. I am sure your friend may have explained all this. sorry for delay. I have too much on!!

Truly a wonderful series!
Nice one Carole, I like to see someone with a sence of humor, to say nothing of the great shots.
All the best Gordon.
Marvelous photos of this heron. Gorgeous !
Best regards, Synnöve
Carole, nice series of the heron!
They can be so patient. I guess that's why I'm not that great at fishing.
Really splendid photographs!
Even though these birds are common (well, common ish) I still love watching them.
Nice pictures.
In my jet lagged state I was rather grateful for auto-focus!

Herons are such funky looking birds, all lanky and gangly but also very cool looking. - Your got great shots of this one.
