Sue Bishop: Great catch!
BrianMorin: I got lucky with the location. It was moving along the shore and I was hoping it would end up in this spot for a clear shot and it worked out. I like the way the entire bird shows, including the feet.

Blenheim - An uncommon migrant. I sat on the grass and waited. After a short time the bird walked to within six feet. That's why shorebirds can be fun to work with if you play the waiting game rather than chasing, which seldom works.

Ahmad Shah: Great find. Well done.
BrianMorin: I couldn't believe my luck with this species. There were five birds present – my previous experience over the years has only been with single birds.

Casselman - An uncommon fall migrant.

Ahmad Shah: Wonderful capture.
BrianMorin: This was a lucky find because I was literally within 30 seconds of giving up on it. I had checked out three lagoons where two had been reported the day before and after a very careful search for 30 minutes I had come up empty. As I completed my search on the final section of the last lagoon, there it was, swimming about 20 metres offshore. I stayed with it for another 30 minutes as it swam to and fro, feeding on swarms of midges at water level. I would grab shots whenever it came close enough and once it was within a decent distance, about 8 metres. The light was good and the bird presented well. There was only one bird but that worked for me.

Cornwall - It took me 8 trips to this site 5 minutes from home before I had a chance to get a shot of a night-heron. Persistence paid off.
