Thanks waltraud - very pleasing. I thought I should zoom and crop to make it easier to see but in the end I decided the camouflage is also important so left the photo as taken. Regards

I'm glad you didn't zoom or highlight. The photo is magic as it is - it gives you a wonderful feeling once you find the bird and at the same time educates about an aspect of ecology.
