One of my favourite birds. This female is moulting and there are many small white specs following this ruffle - more visible before the resize, but some are visible on this resize.

Always worth the climb :toast:

I like the ruffled feathers but I’m not sure that the angle of the bird does it justice, facing away diminishes the head and face.

Hi Marcus, fully agree with Bob's comments above, but still worth the climb :toast:
