      I hope my ID is correct ? Taken at the Hadeda hide at Marievale. Normally overlooked because the MK gets all the attention.

      Hi Francois
      Not sure of the ID, but I am sure of the shot, superb. Image quality is just great, so much detail in the bird ,and a good background. I also like the diagonal pose...adds impact. Big shot of a small bird
      Well done
      cheers

      Thanks for the comments everyone - much appreciated !

      Grant - this image has so much detail that I could easily crop to 100% without losing significant IQ. I think all the variables were just right when the photo was taken.
