Red-necked Stint Calidris ruficollis January 2nd, 2020 Werribee, Victoria, Australia Canon EOS 1D X Mark II Canon EF 600mm f4L IS II USM lens These tiny waders always seem to be on the move, racing around the shallow waters edge feeding, often in large flocks of hundreds of birds. It can sometimes be a challenge to isolate a single bird, but as the flock fans out every now & then a trailblazer will provide an opportunity.
