Can you speak up please!
Yellow crowned night heron, slightly hard of hearing :biggrin: Wish the feet were in focus!

Took me a few seconds to work this out Steve - :biggrin: :biggrin:

Cracking shot imo - very nice, pity about the motion blur on the "scratchy leg" but a cracker nonetheless :toast:

That has to be the most unusual pose I've seen on this forum. Loke Andy, it took a second or two to work it out.

Cool pose Stephen and I like the similar colours through the shot. Funny that the front of their legs are dark but the backs are green, and what a big head too! :smile:

Great stuff! I like the way he is perched on that peak - there's only room for one foot!

...but what were you saying that it couldn't hear ???

Nice shot Steve - as you say, shame the foot is OOF, but nice eye contact.

Cheers

As you say its a shame the feet are not in focus, still a very nice shot.

The movement doesn't bother me, I prefer a little bit of movement rather than if it was still it would just look like a foot waving at me !!

I like it as it is, well done
