I always get a thrill when I'm able to get close enough to photograph birds, although I'm not always quite so thrilled with the results. Fortunately, the digital medium is very forgiving! Merry Christmas to you too, Dave.BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-42520128866694663492006-12-22T21:10:00.000+11:002006-12-22T21:10:00.000+11:00Hi Alan

Hope you don't mind if I put your blog on my link list. Look forward to seeing more of your wader pics as and when.<br /><br />Merry Christmas,<br /><br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-23629331331606194492006-12-22T19:41:00.000+11:002006-12-22T19:41:00.000+11:00Hi Dave,

I see by your blog that you've set yourself a difficult task in trying to photograph waders--surely one of the most difficult groups of birds. However, I do envy the range of species you get there.BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-19667538190545325432006-12-22T03:35:00.000+11:002006-12-22T03:35:00.000+11:00Hello Alan

I have been seeing Little Stints throughout the northern autumn at my local patch in Malaysia, where it is considered a vagrant. Not sure how many birds are involved, but you may want to take a look at some photos here: http://digdeep1962.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Cheers<br /><br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-53865794012831974132006-12-20T14:00:00.000+11:002006-12-20T14:00:00.000+11:00Thanks, Alan.

However, I understand it has been seen most recently around the "islands"--they are off the end of the spit. At least that is my interpretation of Bill's e-mail.BirdingTashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341646998037894004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18783751.post-56937323246694958112006-12-20T12:46:00.000+11:002006-12-20T12:46:00.000+11:00Hi Alan,

We were there a couple of weeks ago, and while it was virtually too windy to even get out of the car, we did see Red-necked Stints right at the end of the spit, but didn't notice any Stints out of the ordinary. Nor could we find much anywhere else around there, but largely because of the wind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
