Day 341 2015: It takes three to tango...

Day 341: ...oh, wait...

...three on a mission perhaps? I'm not sure. Changed parking conditions mean I no longer get to see the uni lake as often as I once might have. Today, on the way out, I swung by just to see the old ibis and others. Of course, the approach was tempered by the sound of 1000 plovers ploving. OK, maybe not 1000, but maybe four. And that's about three and a half too many. 

So amidst the plovers and the ibis and the orange-tinged clouds, the three swamp hens appeared to be on a mission...first, they strolled across the car park...


Your mission...


...then, across the grasslands...

...creeping with stealth


...and then they took aim...


...ready, aim...

...and jump-startled the ibis. 


Bwhaha, gotcha

Hehe. The plovers didn't worry them.
