Fantastic close up and great picture.
How did you manage it ?

they are in breeding pairs in big pens all over the estate. went up to feed this fellow and his wife and he came over for a picture..his language was atrocious.. and he really protects his female.. she was too shy to come and get her pic taken. the females are plain brown.
