      A difficult character to get in the open and you have shown a couple of them outside. Well done.

      The light on the bird against the green BG makes this image leap from my monitor. Lovely Chris. RR

      Your usual impossibly high standards Chris. I like the coulours and detail of the feathers. Makes for a stunning shot.
