Red Crested Korhaan - (Eupodotis ruficrista)
In the same category (I think) to the 'Bustard' family I wanted to do something different using this long head in the grass similar to a 'periscope' and focus on its bulbous eye. Not easy to do when moving in the tall grass, but I thin it works. Just trying to show another angle in looking at things. WDYT as it appears to have mixed thoughts.

Hi Steve,

Interesting image! Shame it's looking out of the frame apposed to in! If it was mine I'd give it a wee bit more room on the left of the frame so it has more space to look into!

Weird bird Steve, and fine shot........shows perfectly why they have evolved to this long-necked shape!

What a strange looking bird! I really like your excellent environmental shot, but I agree with Paul that more room on the left would help the composition.
