Back Out In The Evening

My second trip out to the marina near sunset. Got quite a few decent shots today!

Probably my best heron in flight shot yet:

Beautiful shots and work !! Sharp shots and so clear Jason. The Heron in flight, congrats, bang on IMO and love that eye colour in those. Nice wing spread and the water BG looks great for it with that blue. All fine shots Jason, even the butterfly is so sharp with good details. Killdeer looks to be a Dotterel of some sort, beautiful shot.

All the best Jason, fine shooting !!

Thanks Danny! At least out here, the Killdeer is simply known as a Killdeer:

All great shots, with a nod to the heron in flight. The plover could be a Spotted Sandpiper.

Number 3 is a spotted sandpiper. Great work on these photos!

Great job Stig !!!!

Ahhh excellent info. A Plover and closely related to the Lapwing. That explains it. Man its a nice looking bird and beautiful to see.

All the best and thanks for that Jason. Appreciated.
