Not today !.
The light was superb, the bird was fantastic as a real UK rarity although distant for my lens combination, the image is therefore heavily cropped.
A new tick for me.
It was very active flitting about its favoured food source bulrushes, I have one rather soft record image showing it scratching a bulrush with its clawed foot to expose the seeds within.
What a great couple of hours at mid-day with a warm sun on my back and quality light at the end of December.
