Great spotting, Jonathan. These are amazing birds and I hope I get to see one in the flesh one day. Best wishes for your nomination.

Beautiful photos - what a bird !
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
