Having the use of a photographic drone opens up possibilities for good not evil. What could be healthier than counting animals for the greater good? Can I just say no migratory birds were distressed in the making of these images and no people were given cause to panic. The shots were taken in the early morning light with the sun low in the east casting long shadows across the water. The tiny tadpole creatures you see in the picture are in fact fiddler rays which are usually under a metre in length. By comparing two photographs taken sequentially of the same spot it is easy to see them move about. No doubt there were some rays in this photo who were moving too slowly to be observed or still hidden in the seagrass. Would I be making a wild guess to suggest that there are dozens of fiddler rays in the larger context? Possible hundreds?
