Top marks - Amazing to see one in the open like this and not reeling from deep in the midst of a bush!

Cheers Mike - I spent about 30 minutes with this guy and I got plenty of shots of him in the thicket. MJ

Your first post is lovely, Michael, but I think I would be tempted to clone out both the yellow blob top right and that little bit of stick coming in from the bottom as both detract from the main subject.

Hello Michael.

Lovely shot and one I would like to photograph to.

Agree with David on the cloning.
