Well, here it is. The ones I saw weren't as well marked as this one (this one is in breeding plumage). An elusive bird, most people only see them when they come down to the lowlands for the winter, which is where I saw them. Even in dull winter garb, the eyebrow is noticeable.Now, if it doesn't make your pulse race, I do understand. It's just that at my stage of the game, any little excitement is welcome.
And if I get melancholy back here in the Fens, I can always go and contemplate my neighbour's compost heap.

Or go to Welney at feeding time!
Then again a compost heap close up could be teeming with life too.
How do you know about Welney?? It is about 20 minutes from where I live.
I've got webbed feet!
Welney is under so much water that it's a wasteland at the moment. Mostly pochard. Little else.
Bosque del Apache is the place to be right now.
