In all my years of doing bird photograhy, I've never seen as many Eurasian Coots in one spot at the same time and there were probably twice as many but this is all I could fit in with my 150-600 right back to 150mm.

Nice shots of the Black Swans. We saw some in New Zealand, but not in OZ!
Well done, Ron!

Great shots. I tried to band Tundra Swans once 
Never again. The adults beat the s..t out of us. I had various injuries that took weeks to heal. The my top three dangerous parent birds are: Swans, Geese and Goshawks. Still have some scars on my head from Goshawks

Excellent, Ron. I just read about some horrible weather in Oz. Glad to see you escaped it.
