    A bloody terrible photo (actually a composite of two bloody terrible photos), but this is a bloody hard bird to see, and there are rather few photos of this species floating around, so I figured it was worth uploading. Posted 4 years ago

      I love it, the photo tells the tell of it being elusive well, and it's an incredible species intro. Well done! Posted 4 years ago

      Definitely worthwhile to share. And, it seems like an appropriately elusive photo for an elusive bird! Posted 4 years ago

        To add to this I love it because it shows how difficult and elusive these spottings can be and why they are ten times more precious than other more common spottings for which you have all sorts of opportunities to make a great picture. Posted 4 years ago
