Hi Sandy
We all wish birds would play be the rules and always come toward us, but the head turn in this photograph makes for a nice photograph.

Nice head turn and wing detail. Like the water splash and droplets on the head.

Love the water drops in this image with the head turn towards us. I have never seen this species so this is a treat.
