Plover

About Townsville – Plover on the Prowl at Lucinda

We are staying at a rental property in Lucinda on the coast near Halifax in North Queensland.  While Marty and his Dad were down at Dungeness prawning I was sitting out the front of the house trying to catch the odd breeze when along came this gorgeous bird.  He was hunting in the grass and quickly gobbled something up before I could see what it was.

 

Plover

 

My Sony Camera has a 30 times optical zoom and it is the feature I like most.  The photos it takes on zoom are beautifully clear.

Our 3 bedroom home has everything we need and costs $465.00 per week through Ray White Ingham.

      Hi Lyn, I am honoured that you nominated me for this award. I have a wordpress blog and my figures tell me I have over 800 confirmed followers (subscribers) so unfortunately I fear I don’t comply with the rules 🙁
