Lovely shot Major, the lighting is great. The branch through the beak is a mall nit, but only a minor one.

Cheers,

Dan.

Nice shot Major - great colours and I always like to see some habitat. I've been after a pair of these this week, but no luck so far. Not getting easier as the leaves emerge either!
