Spring-Summer ... 2 (Philomachus pugnax)

Spring-Summer Collection ... 2

Ruff-is-a-forming ...

See how the feathers in
the neck and collar
area have started
growing ... that will
form a ruff ... by the
time they reach their
summer destination in
Northern climes ...

This was a small group
at Sunset ... and we had
driven past them ... reversed
on realizing the
mistake ... luckily
without spooking them ...

Another one captured in
the Lost-Wetlands ... in the
... light of a setting Sun

Watch this fellow in
a small video-clip ...

A beautifully detailed closeup of this Ruff Alok.

Oooh, that's a beautiful shot! And judging by expression, it looks like this Ruff is very much looking forward to the renewal of the "Elizabethan era" yet again |=)|
