Hi Garth, The simple answer is in Australia. I live in New South Wales, some 300klms inland in Uralla and the lagoon is a wildlife reserve.It was taken from a very large purpose built blind and I had a 300mm lens on the camera. This Stilt is not endangered here. Thank you for your interest. #10579596
