CommentDuring the austral migration, a few Terek Sandpipers can usually be found on the Esplanade foreshore. On this day there were five in a group (four shown) and I waited for the rising tide to push them closer but a few minutes after capturing this frame a tidal surge woke the somnolent birds and they all flew off to their high-tide roost.
