Not a very sharp shot. Graham and I were walking around our property and checking on things and as we came through under some trees into the backyard we noticed this bird pop up from the long grass (ground too wet to take the mower on it as yet). It only stayed momentarily before flying off. We’ve not seen one here before so I got the best shot I could at short notice. Had it stayed a minute longer I might have gotten a better one. Not to worry, I’ll keep my eye out in case it comes back again.
Apparently they love open grass lands, and since our lawn is so long at the moment it’s probably why it dropped by.
Very very beautiful shot. It deserves applause.
What a beautiful surprise to find in your yard!
