Hong Kong birds, namely some BIFs from NSW.
A few days ago I went down to the slipway at Nam Sang Wai. The water was higher than ideal, but flat calm and there was a bit of hazy sunshine around.
Chased by a dozen Black-headed Gulls, this Marsh Sandpiper was trying to escape with it's breakfast intact...

I like BiFs and these are excellent. What a way to look at birds.
ReplyDeleteWonderful BIFs John............
ReplyDeleteI hope that the Marsh Sandpiper managed to hold on to its lunch! A dozen gulls in pursuit would be quite the gauntlet to run.
