Very nice shot, Dan. They seem to be hiding from danger. I'm not sure of my answer.

I have no idea what they are doing but hiding their heads and exposing their ar@@? On other hand it looks like they are doing a push-ups - almost synchronized !First time seeing this head position behavior from Geese. Only two of a group of eight kept their heads down. It probably means something.View attachment 200972
Or you may use the camera DanP used on the previous page! The problem (amongs many others!) is to find any bird before the polar bears find you!December at the north pole? You're going to need a ton of dynamic range to separate coal-black backgrounds from coal-black birds. If any are there for the 6 month night!
I can't even see that BIF , all I can see is that face on that sheep. lolNice shots, Alan. I especially like the BIF on the second one.
What is this sheep doing with it's ear?!?Is this more visible?
They're both great shots!Took out the 100-500mm + 2x TC yesterday as I knew the 100-400 would be too short for most shots. Here are some tiny crops at 1000mm enlarged 1.4x of a Kestrel, and a Lapwing in flight. I was pleased with the Lapwing as it caught its iridescence.

It's that sophisticated sonar - and actually both ears are taking the work!What is this sheep doing with it's ear?!?
Jokes aside: nice gif!
These are great shots. I think the eyes become red during egg laying season in this species. Anyone have ideas?..........This one attracted my attention because of the unusual colors - the legs are not yellow or grayish, the bared skin around the eyes is not yellow but pinkish, that bill is too red! And the iris of the eyes - red?!............
