Found them trying to sleep about a foot off the ground.

Good to see you back Bart. It's great to see members keep in touch and all of us here at AP wish you and your loved ones a very Happy New Year. I agree with Greg, good find and capture.

Cheers. Its has been awhile since I posted last, life gets in the way sometimes. Hopefully from here on I will be able to spend more time with photography.
Happy New Year to you guys as well.

I'd like to see all of the tails.
Good find though. Wish I could find some.

I think these are the most amazing and interesting birds and a great find, especially close to the ground like this. I do find your original post a bit small and would love to see it larger like #2. I think the exposure in #1 is better as #2 seems quite dark on my screen.

I have changed the first pic now so it can be viewed larger, I could brighten the second one a little. As I only have an old lap top its sometimes hard to get the levels right.
