Wow, what a cool behavior to capture! I like the composition with enough space all around that it doesn't feel cramped, and shows a bit of the loose soil that I assume came from the burrow it dug. Well done.

Correct - and when she was done laying, she smoothed it over to the point that it was invisible even when knowing where to look. Neat.

Terrific image-everything woks so beautifully together here, and the capture itself is quite a special moment. Wonderful! (Thanks for the follow-up info as well).

Wonderful behavior capture, Craig. Revealing the eggs makes this image unique. Great work.

Great behaviour capture Craig!  Well done to get mother and a glimpse of the eggs - quite a unique image I would say.  :)
