Awesome Leo, i'm so envious. You caught it in
the perfect take off pose. I caught a look at
him yesterday evening but the light was all
wrong. For a nocturnal bird, he's not shy at
the moment. No sign of a parent?
Great capture as always from you! :) I'm quite envious of the shots you can get
from Kelly's Swamp. Like OzOutback if I ever
see one of these critters, the distance or
lighting just makes it impossible for a
decent shot!
