Old Grey Beard

Not really a beard, of course, but his wings which he has pulled up to his chin. Alternate shot in the other album.

Nice spot.

I love the way these birds look. They look like they are wearing a cape and as you mentioned, having a grey beard. Great isolated capture!

What a great shot. You must have got quite close to him!

@shepherdmanswife It's about the closest I've been able to get and I had a 200mm lens on a crop body camera so that gave me quite a bit of reach. Also this image has been cropped but I think it still stands up fairly well. Having a nice bright day helps of course.
