Nice shot, Steve, of a Stilt in typical position on water.

Cheers

Not a feathered bird lover, or shall we say these things are hard to shoot at times but i like the pic, nice and sharp and is all good well done.

bbj: the water bird series I posted today was tricky to get
I was stooping low using rushes as cover and then crawled thru some pointy stuff and laid there to get the shots.
and they had very white heads. was using flash @ -2ev and exposure compensation of around -.66 also

Just a correction it's a Black Winged Stilt or some photogs from Asia say it's not and call it the Australian Stilt.

thanks darryl,
I actually knew that but somehow wrote black shouldered.
guess I had kites on the mind. and I didnt even see one!! BTW been out looking at finchs again yesterday.
trying to photograph a nutmeg? unfortunately not been able to get close enough for a positive id.
seeing plenty of Red brows at the moment, quite a few carrying nesting material.
