Not completely confident on this ID so please let me know if I am wrong

More like a Greenshank I think. Marsh looks daintier.

Some great multi species shots proving Amboseli is not just about that mountain and ellies.

I know you Aussies tend to speak more like the Yanquis these days but I will dock a point for misspelling Grey.

And PLEASE tell me the woke brigade have not inflicted Blue-billed Teal on the world in place of Spatula hottentota's true and ancient name. What next? BaTwa Goose?

[shazdwn]

And for 100 - please indulge me with a few shots of one of my favourites

 

100 - Greater Flamingo - Amboseli National Park, Kenya - 6/1/2023

Sorry I am relying on Merlin for my ID's - hence the Americanisms (which also make me cringe, don't worry).  ID's are fixed - but what is the proper name for our blue-billed friend?
