Hi Barbara
Classic examle of "bird in habitat" ! Just the way we see them.
Love it my kind of shot. A lot of stuff nowadays can be a might "clinical " if you know what I mean.
Good stuff.

Now this is a shot of a bird in its natural habitat without a lot of PP. Love it.

Amazing camouflage, Barbara-even to some of the grass green in the bill. An excellent habitat shot of this beauty.
