I love this shot I took with a little zoom… the bird remained un-perturbed by my hand over the ledge adjusting the zoom…
I probably would never have been able to see the birds eye so close, or for that matter, the leathery type skin of the cheek, if this bird had of known I was in the hide…
I loved this shot for the artistic shape and form of the feathers… the bird was preening behind its wing… also with a little zoom…
One of the other birds that was in close proximity was watching me with great interest….
One can almost hear it saying “I have my eye on you, try anything funny and I’ll warn my friend !!”
