White eye

in quite a state. Don't know what it was all about, but he was very load and fluffed himself up before taking off.

Probably trying to make himself look fierce.

@robz @merrelyn @beryl No, he did not have a bath as there is no water anywhere around. Never seen one this dishevelled yet ;-)
