Deniliquin, NSW, Australia.
It was exciting to finally find an Inland Dotterel during our Plains-wanderer Weekend with Philip Maher after years of fruitless searching - this is a Lifer for us, and such crippling, close quarters views too! Such a stunning bird! This adult had a juvenile bird in close attendance. We actually found 10 birds during the night, on a private property north of Deniliquin.
