Nice capture, shows the intricate colours really well - I like the way that oof grass stem frames the head. :toast:

I know both are prevalent but I tend to come across the Grey more often than these when I vist your neck of the woods to see my folks - this though is a nice portrait and the setting works well too - what a proud looking individual. I've had close encounters with these for the last couple of days over my side of the country, but always when en route and on a timetable so not been able to make the most of the opportunity.

Great shot with lovely light.

Love the detail.

But i must admit i do find the grass stem above the head draws the eye away :frown: (but that could be clonned out).

I think these are beautiful birds and your shot with the golden light really does it justice. The dried grass BG doesn't bother me at all.
