Different type of barny shot, from what we tend to see Paul, and why not!!

Looks like a decent Natural History type shot to me.......would have been nice if he had obliged you with a slight head-turn, but we take what we are given gratefully :toast:

Hi Paul,

Nice shot of this male bird. Hope he had better luck on the next dive!

Hi Paul,

Very, very nice capture, unusual but very nice nonetheless!

Yes, he looks somewhat deflated, hope he will not go hungry for long.

I watched one doing similar to this: just sitting on the ground for a moment after each failed dive. But it wasn't down for long, so well done for getting the shot! Been back lots since and no sign since that first night, but will keep my fingers crossed! :smile:

Lucky you to get that close to one - never seen a wild one!

Different, but very nice!
