Comment | On Lady Elliott Island there was a red-tailed Tropic bird nest under a low shrub with a young one still in down feathers just outside our cabin. People walked past a metre away an the bird was unconcerned. One of the adults would leave on a food trip for a few hours. Wanting an in-flight shot of these magnificent birds I learned that the bird at the nest heard the mate way before I could and started to quietly respond giving me time to get ready. They really don't land, just drop the last few metres like a rock. ACR PS2022 near full frame cropped from horizontal, sharpened, lightly desaturated the sky. | ||||||||||||||||||
