Thanks for your comments everyone. I agree he has a slightly mad look about him. I'm glad you enjoyed.

Lurking was the first word that came to mind. Very interesting shot showing this bird plotting its next move. Nice!

There will be days when you get the shot(s) you missed days, months or years before.

Thanks for the comments everyone - I think "lurking" is definitely the word!
