Rhynchée d'Australie - Australian painted-snipe

Sandy Cove Conservation Reserve, Port Fairy

En danger d'extinction extrême, on a vu, par chance, ce limicole endémique loin au fond d'un marais!
Il n'y aurait plus que 270 à 400 individus de cette espèce!

Critically endangered, this endemic shorebird was found by chance in a large pond!
Looks like there are less than 400 individuals of this specie left!

Sony Alpha α77 II
1/1000s f/6.3 at 600.0mm iso640 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wow, you really found a rarity here. I hope there are recovery plans in place for the population of this species. Super shot.
