A friend of ours joined us for his first ever sailing trip from Port Albert to Wilsons Promontory, the southern most tip of mainland Australia. We have known one another for many many years, however Trevor is the type who normally gets seasick just standing on a pier and avoids boats like the plague.
With its fragile, slender appearance, and its prominently up-curved bill, the Red-necked Avocet (Recurvirostra novaehollandiae) is an elegant and distinctive Australian wader, and the subject of our #36 Bird Photography Challenge.
We might have had a break from sailing last weekend, but we were not far from the ocean! Having not been to our place down the coast for months, it was nice to rediscover Jan Juc. Sometimes, even a very overcast morning can be fruitful for long exposure photography with friend Leanne Cole.
