DSC_8338

Banded Rail ( Rallus phillipensis). A gentle engaging little bird that inhabits estuarine habits sadly now declining due to human encroachment and predation.

Never an easy species to photograph, yet If one sits quietly resisting the urge to fidget or attend to that persistent itch often it will come within shooting distance.

Unable to obtain one or two at most images with the Nikon D800, I purchased a D810 a wonderfully quiet camera..

Sadly the new fancy D850 is a " Clacker" not a cracker...
