Hi all,

Took this one this morning. This was my target species although I wasn't really expecting to find one, they're actually really well camouflaged little things when their wings are closed, the colours match the grasses perfectly.

Thanks for looking,

Lewis.

Nice work Lewis. I've never found one roosting. Tack sharp and background blur is spot on.
Cheers

That is superb Lewis. Great detail and so sharp. It is a good advert for the use of a tripod and natural light in the early mornings.

Thanks for sharing.
