Pied Oyster Catcher & Elegant Sea Snake…
I hadn't had much luck on this morning's saunter across Moreton Bay's tidal flats.
The pelicans had gone upriver (fishing scraps there), the Bar-tailed Godwits were flighty (because that's the way they are) and one of the oystercatchers had chosen to pick up a ‘stick’ and fly off with it (how strange!). Might as well take its photo…
Canon R5m2 | RF 200–800
800 mm | ƒ/9 | 1/2500s | ISO 10,000
30 frames/second | raw | ±40 metres
DxO PR4 | LrC
Pied Oystercatcher : Haematopus longirostris
Elegant Sea Snake : Hydrophis elegans[/FONT
Please correct me if I'm wrong with the sea snake's ID.
