Black-fronted Dotteral

mostly.nature (59) in nature • 7 years ago (edited)

The Black-fronted Dotterel (Elseyornis melanops) is a small plover found in Australia and also New Zealand. They are usually seen feeding along the edge of freshwater wetlands. They feed mainly on insects and other small invertebrates but will also eat some seeds. I took the following photos at the Narawntapu National Park in Tasmania.

(That wasn't meant to be funny. I use the html tag, sub.
I did not think it would work in the comments section. What I actually typed was:

< SUB >WRITE YOUR TEXT HERE < /SUB >
But remove the spaces. I put spaces in it to break it otherwise you would just see small text like in the previous teply.

Brilliant! I was to find it the Styling Guide they give but it doesn't work. Then tried to find some simple HTML commands, but didn't work neither.
Thanks a lot! :)

I can't wait to get as good as you are, I know I need additional glass before I can get the quality you have captured. I am powered down currently but am going to resteemed this and will be back tomorrow to upvote it.

Voted up high. I really love birds and would like to congratulate you on capturing their beauty so magnificently. I wish to someday get the opportunity to capture such photos up close of purely free and wild birds. I recently captured some at a bird park in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia while on vacation, but that's not as challenging as the real deal for professional photographers such as yourself and in the wild. Bravo!
