A few weeks back after not doing much over the weekend Allan gave me a call to see if I wanted to make a trip to boat harbour to look for a Red Knot.
As usual there was a fine selection of waders and we were struggling to find the right bird. But luckily there was someone there who knew what they were doing and we soon had some good views.
Sadly I couldn't get any good photos.
Some of the other birds showed up a little better though.

Fantastic Nankeen Kestrel shot! :-) .. and then I am missing the name of the wasp attacking the spider - it would speed up my own posting when I finally get to those photos :-)
Cheers Allan
The family is Pompilidae, not sure of the genus or species.

Thanks for the naming - that was some great insect spotting. I have heard about this thing of wasps laying their eggs in spiders, but seeing it was pretty crazy.
Cheers Allan
Nice Kestrel shot. Well done!
