An amazing shot of a usually secretive bird which we rarely see in the Gallery. It is extraordinary to see it in the open in this setting. A great post Hauer.

Great goodness, what strange behaviour for this bird.

A great shot Hauer.

how strange, when they come here they are very scared that if you meet any they disappear in a second.

super fabulous capture my friend, great effect of the flash to get its colors so accurate.

Not a good thing to happen at that time of the morning! A lovely image - very clear and detailed.
