And still another really cool bird I have never seen before. You just keep coming up with these awesome images of all these different species Rob. Well done. Love the low angle. That yellow really draws my eye.

Funny title, great image. This is a bird I have never seen before as well. Wonderful feather detail on the larger image, well done Rob in the Mud.

Beautifully exposed, Rob and a great angle.

Super cool bird, presented very nicely as usual Rob. I like the little ruffle of feathers on the side.

Sweet Photo!!!

Fairly sure we only have the Spur winged here Rob. Excellent clear shot and a very low angle, nice to see. Well held on the whites and great details. Love the colours of course and concentrating look.

All the best Rob, excellent shot. I'll dig out a spur winged later.

Danny.
