Reason: The beak is an important feature to examine for identification of this species. It is shown well, as is the rest of the plumage. The image quality is otherwise excellent. The photo was taken on salt pans in baking heat. I essentially decided to lie in wait in a spot and the birds came to me after a number of hours.

Support very nice. Cat-five t c ---- 07:21, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support I find the strong blur on the leg to be distracting, but otherwise this is very good. --Pine^✉ 22:08, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Weak support, weak only because JJ's work has raised the bar so high it makes us more aware of the slight compositional awkwardness of this one. It would be a shame if this hit the deadline with 4.5 supports, though, so I'm happy to provide the other .5. Chick Bowen 23:03, 22 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
