Cleaning Cocos Keeling Islands Feather Feathers Greenshank Greenshanks Grooming Indian Ocean Lakes Preening Waders Tringa Nebularia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the beauty of a Common Greenshank, a migratory bird that seeks refuge in the Southern Hemisphere during the harsh northern winter. The image showcases this elegant creature on a small brackish lake located on West Island Cocos (Keeling) Islands, nestled in the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean. Taken in November by renowned wildlife photographer Don Hadden, this particular shot displays the bird adorned in its winter plumage as it indulges in preening. The Common Greenshank, scientifically known as Tringa nebularia, is an enchanting sight to behold with its slender body and long legs perfectly adapted for wading through shallow waters. Its presence on these remote islands adds to their allure and highlights their significance as havens for diverse wildlife. Hadden's expertise shines through as he masterfully captures every intricate detail of this greenshank's grooming routine. The bird delicately tends to its feathers while immersed in the tranquil waters of the lake. This moment frozen in time allows us to appreciate not only its graceful appearance but also its meticulous nature.
