Birds Greater Blue Bonnet

[Ralph]

A very shy bird and the best way to get a shot is if you are walking along and a single to more fly to a tree that is in the direction you are walking to.
Then you can get a few shots, but most times they fly off just as you get focus on them.

These are buggers to get as they will as a rule fly off once you have got focus on them.
So I only get them when they fly to a tree in the same direction I am going.
They are a frustrating bird but nice when you land the shot.
