Excellent Socrate. Would love to be this close to this interesting and unusual bird but I have no idea where to look. I see them in the sky at dusk but they are so far away that I just watch them. These images are outstanding.

Socrate- I don't think I've ever seen photos of these birds.
So that makes these the best I've ever seen .
Silliness aside, I doubt I'll ever see better ones- unless they come from you. These are remarkable images of what I assume is a primarily nocturnal bird.

Thanks for the kind words, Charlie. Very interesting birds indeed. They have been erroneously accused to suck on goats, so another name for these birds is "Goatsuckers"

A super set all the way around Socrate. Great shots of a very difficult subject. I saw 2 50+ years ago and thought they were neat then ~ Ron

Beautiful perched shots with interesting perches and the BG for 1 and 4 is stunning
Excellent work Sir!
