They mix in with the Bar-tails and it's rare to see them in their breeding colours too, making it even harder to spot them!<br /><br />I hope that you are still enjoying your time away and that your eye continues to heal!Christian Perrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835955663432829705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-6597579157632746412013-08-27T21:33:58.715+10:002013-08-27T21:33:58.715+10:00Looks like you had a brill day out birding with li...Looks like you had a brill day out birding with like-minded people Margaret.
