Where I live this is as rare a bird as a hawfinch, although I know things are different in your area. I like the green on the water, the bird stands out well against it.

Is there no end to the variety?!! This is very nice indeed. I love the pebbles in the pond and the fanned tail.

Superb shot John, my favorite bird at the moment.
Last weekend I made a video of a one. On my website.

Hello John.

Very nice and the detail is excellent.

My only nit would be the green leaf above the birds head but it a very minor one.

A very attractive bird John and one I've never seen. I like the natural setting.

Hi John, lovely shot of this bird. I suppose you're happy with your pools. I have to make one myself these days.
The green gives it a little extra.
