These pictures contain
black stilts. On this day I discovered that the Hasselblad 503CX with an 80mm f2.8 lens really isn't the best camera choice for shooting wildlife. For one, the lens really is too wide. Also it is a slow camera to focus - no auto focus here. And it has a lovely, full, resonant mirror slap which tends to frighten flighty birds (as seen below).
Oh look, there's a black stilt and a DoC worker - busy DoC working as ever, i.e. lots of standing around looking at stuff, bits of getting annoyed with hangers-on with cameras that frighten off the very birds you're standing around looking at.
