Albino Curlew


 The weather was terrible this afternoon but i still decided to head out and see what i could get in the hope the weather might clear for a bit. It didn’t 😒

However as i was heading down to Lough Atedaun i noticed the curlews were feeding in a field beside the road and the partially albino curlew was also present. I love watching this bird but usually only get distant views as the curlews usually don’t come too close but this time i was able to roll down the window of the car and get a few shots off and despite the heavy rain and dull weather i managed my best shots to date of this fascinating bird which i’m delighted with.
