Not what I planned for today but life got in the way. My plight was that the light was fading. I guess it was panning practice though, aah well - back to the drawing board. The pied stilts are gathering on the beach in readiness for their annual migration. They get spooked easily.
@maggiemae if you mean the fella still on the ground he is still deciding if he needs to take flight I reckon. The black stilts do seem to be more bossy and territorial.
