black, with white under tail and, viewed from behind, the white feathers resemble two giant eyes. The bird has a very vivid red bill; as

(, Between the open field and the nest was a barbed wire fence, some willow branches mid a large bed of nettles, but it was possible by using a :100mm tele­ photo lens and a very strong and sturdy tripod to focus right on the
