Hey Bostonian do you have any nice photos of an Aussie crested pigeon?

As requested...

 

[Bostonian]

Another kind of plover, the Red-capped Plover. These guys are quite small (and quiet).

Another of the smaller plovers. The Red-kneed Dotterel.

A close up of a Royal Spoonbill. Funky looking birds.

And just to prove I do take crap photos often. Here's a Banded Lapwing (Plover) standing in crap.

 

[Bostonian]

This is the Oriental Plover that's had hundreds of people stopping by the road in Avalon hoping to catch a glimpse (photo) of.

"It breeds in parts of Mongolia and China, migrating southwards each year to spend its non-breeding season in Indonesia, New Guinea and northern Australia."

So this shows how far off course this little fella is and how rare it is to see one down this far south.

It's always way back in the paddock so most people's photos are similar to this one. It's been hard to spot at times due to its size and how it blends into the surroundings.

Cropping it doesn't help much with the picture quality.

Legend. Love these little dorks. Do you mind if I use this as a reference photo for a project I'm working on?

What a mint bird. Spectacular mullet.

Go for it. If you want a more natural look there's this one.

I love when they take off their wings kind of squeak

Yeah it's great. Not too long ago got into a heated argument with someone that was adamant their wings weren't making the noise.

Ha ha for real!

What else was making the noise?
Their arse?

"Their mouth. How could wings even make that noise?"

Shit! Never thought of that but how would they coo!
