Looking for it's mother

this Hadeda is driving us quite nuts. It sits on the neighbours' wall just below where the nest used to be. It screeches all day if mum does not show up.

Either that or it is in the olive grove doing the same.

I could not resist this photo op as the saun the the plumage so beautifully.

This is beautiful and I LOVE the gentle leafy background you've selected to set him off so well. He is beautiful, if a tad annoying! ;-)

[Elisa Smith]

Beautiful light on those feathers. I was out in the scrub the other day and a young bird was doing the same screeching non stop, I felt so sorry for it's parents and glad I was going home to peace.

You can understand why Mum disappears if it shreaks all day can't you

A great capture of the light on its plumage! Really beautiful! (its plumage makes up for its screeching...maybe) Fav

You’ve made it look much more appealing than you’ve made it sound!
