Oriental Pratincole - Breeding plumaged adult in flight

[AndyMackie]

Another from Bang Phra, Thailand - what a beautiful bird.
I dropped my stool when packing up from the morning's shoot and when I went back to find it at sunset, there were two of these beauties circling, so I fired off a couple of hand held shots.
