Perfect Simon - your description of "butter-ball" was spot on

Wonderful shot and I did not know it was flash looking at the larger image. Excellent detail and I like the lower perspective. Does it really have green legs?

Tack sharp & the techs look excellent Simon.
I especially appreciate the detail and beautiful patterns seen in this type of closeup shot :toast: :toast:

So are you and Rob in a competition for the most obscure Thai bird? Wonderful work on the detail in the bird, and truly excellent management of the flash.

Really nice view of this plump little partridge! Very sharp and I like the warm tones all through the image. Well done! Sharon
