Mom, Pop & Egg make 3

Uploaded: August 16, 2013 18:57:28

Description

The Curlew's at my golf club have decided to lay her eggs in the most incongruous place ..... between the 14th & 17th Greens .... any balls overshooting the greens go perilously close to them but being a good mom she just sits there and protects her eggs :). I had to lay with them for about 20 minutes before she stopped hissing at me and realised I wasn't going to harm her ...

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: -1.00, ExposureTime: 1/400 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 148.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark III

20 minutes? I'm surprised you didn't duck a few golf balls too! :-)

Cool shot, Renee. I hope they have a happy ending. You'll have to keep us posted! #10811403
