Beautiful shot, and a great pose. You have captured the iridescence in the plumage very well.

Hello John

Nice shot and a nice pose. One day I hope to get the chance to photograph one of these handsome birds in Good light.

Fine image indeed! Bit of a shame that the BG is a tad messy and stubbly, but then that's the way it was.

Only ever seen one of these once in my life - think it was on the Black Isle.
