Chance capture

Here we see a chance capture of the more often than not spotted Helen Turner in her natural environment down by the waters side.

 

Here you will observe her fluttering around an inanimate object! in our case our camera equipment. This creature is drawn to it like a moth to a candle yet it is still almost impossible to see the male of this species,

 

Unlike the female he is a polar opposite very shy and nervous of new experiences. She on the other hand will when at ease stay still enough to enable us to capture her natural grace.

 

Sadly she is an endangered species partly due to the male being so shy almost ashamed of being seen with the female and partly due to her being subjected to high levels of hormones that are changing her natural state making her closer to her cousin the greatly spotted CIS Sharon who ironically is showing signs of losing her plumage and becoming more like the male.

 

At least we have captured in this photo of what looks to be a rare example of a hormone free spotted Helen turner.

 

OK its Tuesday I have had a day back at work and I am bored senseless at least the dancing is back on tomorrow.
