Sitting and waiting............ by ludwigsdiana

Sitting and waiting............

for some action. Take note how the Dikkop sits! On the knees with the legs bent forward. The reason being, they can get up and run or fly within a split second.
what a lovely shot...very nice focus

@landownunder Their real name is Thick knees. They are quite big, very protective and noisy. They live in large groups, I have about 20 atm in my extended backyard. Each one either sits or stands under an olive tree. They are nocturnal 😉
