One of the highlights of the trip was calling this rarely seen bird out in the open for a photo. We had no recordings, but it is a fairly easy bird to imitate. We had the bird within 2-3 meters for 20 minutes and this was the best shot. I had it in full profile for 2-3 seconds, but the autofocus would not coorporate. That is the definition of frustration. |
