The Water is So Cold

This poor masked lapwing was having a bit of a paddle at Soldiers Point, but I think the water must have been a bit too chilly for him.

It is sunny today but rather chilly for us. In fact it is only 16 degrees C so freezing for us. ha ha. I am rugged up like Nanook of the North.

Thanks for your comments and favs on yesterday's noisy miner. I am still a bit absent at the moment but hopefully will catch up later today.

Lovely shot of this beautiful bird, I love the lifted foot.

We have the same temps but awfully cold at night.

Yep - he looks reluctant to get his feet wet.

Ha! It does look like he dipped his toes in to check the temp and his less than thrilled expression says it all! :) Cute capture of this beautiful bird!

An unusual bird, I haven’t seen or heard of one of those before! Very pretty he is too.

It really was chilly so no wonder he was reluctant to go in the water.

@kjarn Thanks. I had a medical appointment at 8.30 this morning and it was 8 degrees outside. Ugh!

@pusspup Thanks. They really are the dumbest birds.
