It’s sad that this bird thought it had gotten some food but it was a piece of plastic in the sea. It discarded it once it landed on the sand.
Mentone Beach
My husband works the Camera Control Unit (CCU) at our church services and he had to be dropped off at church 90 mins before the service on Saturday night. Rather than just sit around with nothing to do I elected to drive down to the nearest beach with my camera and practice getting shots of…

Belonging to forums like the Australian Photography Forum is a great place to hang out as it has a mixture of experienced and newbie photographers as well as professional and…
