The optimum position was usurped by a guy with a buggy and no camera who refused to move despite seeing me come around the corner and try to see if I could get a shot from his side.. meh… came back here and the bird kindly looked straight at me, getting rid of the shadows on its beak :-) It looked straight at me a few times in fact, when I asked it to (true story!) but this is one of the 2 best shots :-)

If you can think of a better title, please tell me :-P
