One of the best shots of this particular bird I think I've ever seen.

Good diagonal comp, great light and bags of sharp detail against a perfect blue sky - does it ever get much better?

Great com position and exposure of this very unusual bird

well done

As I said elsewhere, great image must have made the trip to Gigrin even more special

Great image. I have seen this bird, but never managed a shot as good as this one of it.

Superb picture indeed MIchael, but I am afraid freaky coloured jobs don't appeal to me.

Nice image.
Why remove the tags?
I know they don't look good, but they tell a big part of the story.
