A secretive Baillon\'s Crake carefully walking through dew-covered grass at the edge of a wetland. The low perspective, soft natural light, vivid red eye, and beautifully blurred green background highlight one of Europe\'s most elusive marsh birds in its natural habitat.
Damian, this is a lovely glimpse into the life of such an elusive bird. The low perspective really helps ground the viewer in the marsh, making the dew on the grass feel immediate and fresh. That red eye adds a wonderful spark to the composition against the soft greens.
Did you have to wait long for the bird to step out from the reeds?

Thank you. Oh yes, I hunted for her for several weeks until one day she emerged from the reeds with a water lion. Best regards.
Thank you very much for your comment. Best regards.
