Interesting species, thanks for sharing. If you have 'room' to crop the female to the left it would make for a better composition.

Well captured Jo-Anne. What an unusual looking bird. The last in flight a nice shot. :)

Very strange looking bird Jo-Anne. Never even heard of this fellow. Nice inflights too.

This is also my first time hearing about this species. Quite the unusual "knob" on the male's bill!!
