Avocets, herons and Pelicans

[luckydog]

Long time no post, so i'm back with a feathered smorgasbord. :D

Went out stalking with my mighty 200mm to get these fellows. Dragged myself on my belly for 35mins and was happy with the results...not happy with the pockets full of wet sand though. Only chopped off the top of the Avocet shots to get rid of background, no cropping on any pics.

As they say on sesame street.....One of these birds is not like the others... Well actually two.

Actually I think they were signalling their mates to come on down
