Spot on ! Very smart bird.
I'm just put off a tiny bit by the OOF foreground but no big deal.

I've never seen one close up, they're lovely birds aren't they.
Well captured.

Suer shot. Congrats on getting so close. We have loads round here but have never managed to get close to one. Really shows off the beautiful colours.

Super portrait Guy.They do have such lovely colouring and the setting looks more attractive than where he's been,judging by his muddy looking legs.

Lovely bird, shown very well here. Difficult to keep the whites, but I wonder if it could take just a little brightening?
