A rare opportunity for a Merlin to be so accommodating.

As a last resort I decided to head out to Tswassen, and see what the shores had, and my surprise was a high tide with loons and some grebes.

Yellowlegs

At first these few yellow legs at the pond in Elgin Park seemed a bit timid and flew to the other side, but as I lay down in the grass with camera on the ground, they eventually wandered over to my side, and at times were even too close for the lens. Not even the shutter noise bothered them.
