Foraging for food only about 15 meters from where four of us two-legged photographers were shooting from. In fact, I finally got bored watching and, having got enough shots, I decided to go home and forage for some grub there.

I love these guys! I see them frequently a little to the south of where I live.
This is a super capture Hank.

Nice foraging shot. Watching it made you hungry?

LOL at your narrative ~ hopefully you didn't have to forage for your grub in the dirt too! ;)
Fabulous capture of this beautiful bird Hank!

Nicely balanced on those long legs. Looks like it lost some feathers. V

Very nice, Hank. Being on the mud flat really helps showcase the beautiful blue-grey colour of its legs.
