This was a quick shot taken as the bird came past me from behind, sailing directly into a small island. Never to be seen again.

There’s only a short distance from the woods to the island rookery here. If you see something go for the shot, you only get a moment.

Actually, I didn’t even know it was a Little Blue until I loaded the files into the PC. This is a Tricolor rookery, I assumed that’s what he was.
