What a great spot for you Dick... rather a nice bird that, isn't he.

A super picture you got - very well done laddie.
 
Keep on cruising! I love these birds and you've got a beautiful capture here.

Brilliant colourful detail you have of this beauty Dick. Great ground level shot, well done.
 
A bit like our yellow wattled lapwing. Wonderful setting, bird & close up shot, Dick.!! TFS.
