Watching me watching you

Photo by Vandy Pollard

Variable Oyster Catchers are notoriously territorial and often a challenge to approach in the open. I laid down on the beach up to my ears in sand at Waikanae Estuary to slowly crawl towards a pair relaxing on the mudflats to take this shot. 70-200mm cropped.
