Thanks Bob. Taronga Zoo is quite good at providing habitat for water birds. It's easy to forget that these birds are free to come and go as they please, they tolerate human proximity so much more than "wild" birds even though they are in fact "wild" birds. Once I had seen the potential shot with two birds roosted and one giving itself its last preening of the day, it was a simple matter of waiting for the inevitable lineup to form with no danger of them spooking and taking flight. I agree about the oars which have been art-directed into a permanently fixed position, but it is a created display and not a real coastline as it seems.
