what a strange looking bird. looks pretty workable - is there one with a little more room on the left side. Was there fill flash here ?

I've got another couple of shots of this particular bird, however they aren't for posting as they've been sold to clients. Flash fill was used at -1.5 stops and the brolga was around 20m from me when this shot was taken. It was raining too.

The brolga was just running in the water, they are notorious for 'dancing' which is very interesting to watch but seldom caught on film.
