It took me a few days work and I became wet to the bone building the hide but for me it was worth it. This morning the rain was over. In the hide at 5:30 and had to wait to 6:30 before ther was enough light.

Congratulations!

Well worth the effort.

Shots of these hard-to-approach birds are never easy- quality photos like yours, that is!

I presume you'll be spending a fair amount of time in your hide?

What a cool little bird, a dude with a 'tude. I'm a poet and didn't know it:-).
