Two more great shots of a very rare bird, very well done. (Am I the only one here that realises how few of these birds exist?)

Thanks for the very kind comments. I guess I was just lucky. But I think there must be a fair number of birders visiting the island who should have comparable pictures. The problem is to realize that one should make these pictures available to a wider group of birders. Note that I took mine three years ago. And if it had not been for the fact that I used one to illustrate a comment about the way this species is shown in the new Slater FG, my shots would still remain well hidden as well.
