    Alex spotted a Pied Stilt, AKA White-headed Stilt and Australian Stilt beside an island back a little way over to our right and suggested I try and get a bit closer and hide behind a bush to get a picture. Think he thought it was April 1! I set off confidently, using my best field craft, but...
