This was taken the previous year to the images recently posted, in the same patch, but different location. The camouflage was mind-blowing and the only hint of its location was revealed by the white faecal spots. This is possibly a resident pair here as we reported (presumably) the same pair nesting (with 2 chicks) in July 2019.
The bird was sunning in the evening gentle sunlight. - AS |
