Myers Parrot

A fairly common bird often found in trees behind leaves, this possibility of a few in the "open" was too good to ignore, although they were really too far away. The fact that I later saw two were asleep added to the image for me.
Taken at Ngweshla Picnic Site, Hwange National Park, Zimbabwe.

EOS 1DX

Nice capture Ken, perhaps a tad more space at the bottom.

John and Jefferson,

Thanks very much, looking again I am inclined towards a little more space at the bottom as well :toast:
