Yesterday walking around Mountbatten I saw four of these fella's and managed this shot with the K1 mkii and DA*300mm at f8 1/500th ISO 280 handheld, 100% crop, not the sharpest shot I must say.
I'm sure their numbers have declined as you used to see many more in all seasons, hopefully not due to the bird flu.

Back again to Heybrooke Bay this time with tripod and ND filter, KP and DA* 11-18mm. Used a ND 16 four stop and a Grad filter, so no max F stop this time. Midday sun so not the best but some shadows.
