I Visited Miranda last Friday to test out the Canon EF 500 f4L IS 11 USM lens and had an interesting afternoon testing out some camera gear and in such a beautiful place. The Miranda coast provides safe roosting areas for birds at high tide with over 43 wader species First image is a mixed flock of primarily bar-tailed godwit with a sprinkling of red knots and black-billed gulls. The second flock is mostly composed of Wrybill, although there is a sprinkling of banded dotterel among them - siimilar size, but brown upperparts rather than grey (if anything they appear slightly darker in the photo) plus a shorter, stouter bill, ( Information supplied from Miranda Shorebird Centre - Keith Woodley) third image Pied Stilt / Poaka. and fourth image Wrybill / Ngutu Pare in flight. On the incoming tide the birds flock in spectacular formation before settling down once more as shown in late afternoon golden light.
