Superb image here....sadly the one I photographed recently has died. It appeared to have been injured, a great shame.

Super close-up Ron, cracking little waders, congrats on a fine newbie mate.

Congratulations Ron, with their plaintive cry and solitary way of life
they seem such sad birds, but it seems they are very territorial and
will fight any other GPs that come too close, great shot mate!
