Glossy Ibis

Post by Mike J »

From last year, only got the pic recently,
Stalked using the fence post as cover, only moving when it was feeding and taken with a borrowed £80 Galaxy.

If you ever wonder where your poll tax goes, the fence was erected by the local authority and there is a a foot of wood wasting on that corner post!

My bad!
In true art fashion your emphasis directed the onlookers view to the ⚫️ In general.
But the artist/photographer had already alluded his intent to shame the Post as waste of materials.
Unless MJ is a stick insect I think he could have approached the said spot for clarification of species without scaring it 😂 :clown:
