Far Eastern Curlew Numenius madagascariensis Critically Endangered in Australia, Vulnerable in Victoria April 20th, 2018 Rhyll, Phillip Island, Victoria, Australia Canon EOS 1D X Mark II Canon EF 600mm f4L IS II USM lens Canon EF 1.4x III Extender One of those really cool birding experiences where patience is rewarded! I set myself up a couple of hours before high tide & waited for the water to rise & the shorebirds to come into this roosting spot. A pair of curlews sometimes frequent this location & I was thrilled when they dropped in right on high tide as the evening sun was setting.
