Australia has a number of small plovers, or dotterels. This one, the red-capped dotterel, is common and widely distributed on beaches and mudflats. These were patrolling the edges of a huge tidal mudflat off Buffalo Creek, near Darwin in the Northern Territory. They were rather shy and difficult to photograph; a long lens helped but these images are strongly cropped. |
