Some local shorebirds

Nothing really exotic, but just some shorebirds that can be found in Southern China at this time of the year. Taken mostly yesterday in between heavy rain periods, so light was not ideal. I hope I got the ID right.

Thanks for visiting.

 

Thank you very much Bob. Jim is my idol and I would be very happy if he can take me as his apprentice.

Thanks Rich. I was using the Sigma 500, a really great lens.

Thank you Frank. I was extremely excited when I spotted the Bittern. It's my first sighting, and the rain stopped for me to take some decent shots.

Thank you Paul. I would like to show our friends here what birds we have here.

 

Thank you very much Anthony. The last one is also my favorite.

Thank you very much, Dave.

Thanks for the kind comment, Gordon.

Thank Dave. I took the shots from the car with a sandbag.

Thanks for the kind word, Jim.

Thank you for taking a look and your kind comments, Louie.
