If only our herons cooperated with photographers just like white-faced herons  in Australia and New Zealand, how many beautiful images could be taken. I happened to meet white-faced herons a few times in Australia and several times in New Zealand. They are not as big as our grey heron or great egret,  their  weight is about a half kilo with a height of about 70 centimeters , but they  can be easily seen on the seashore feeding at low tide or on the banks of rivers.

The fifth species of whistling-ducks  goes to my gallery, what is more, with pretty good pictures. This time I focused on every contact with these birds to create an interesting gallery. When I was in Thailand I heard that the lesser whistling-duck was so common and there would have been many opportunities to take good pictures. As it turned out later I saw them only once and these were the birds flying over our heads.

During the stay in South Africa I managed to photograph three species of plovers: the white-fronted plover, the Kittlitz's plover and the three-banded plover. This text is common to these three species. The white-fronted plover was photographed by the sea, or rather by the Indian Ocean. Taking photos of this bird was like shooting pictures of a common ringed plover on the Baltic Sea. Moving slowly it was possible to gradually reduce the distance from the bird. There were only a few small plovers, several sanderlings and a small flock of terns on the long and wide beach.

The white-fronted Tern is another species endemic to New Zealand. it measures up to 40 centimetres and weighs up to 160 centimetres. Unfortunately, when I was trying to approach them early in the morning, they preferred to keep their distance from me and I couldn’t take photos that would present them in zoom, as they were too far away. On the beach, there were also oystercatchers and gulls feeding on the sand. The beach where I was taking the photos was wide and beautiful.
