Friday Photo: 24 May

Today’s pic is of the NZ dotterel, an endangered shore bird found on some beaches around NZ.  They’re also pretty timid, so getting close enough to take pictures requires a great deal of patience and care.  I appreciate they’re not the most spectacular of our native species, but watching them still appeals.  The shells on the beach give some sense of size-perspective
