Went out today and found this chap who seemed very pleased with himself, I think it's crying out for a caption. :jump:

D2H 600mm 1/640@F5 ISO 200

'oooo, oooo hot coals, hot coals!'

Ok so it doesn't really work but its the only caption I could think of. Great capture!! And you said you only got rubbish pictures that day! I'm off out in a minute to make the most of the sun being out, hopefully I'll get a 'bad' photo like this one...lol

Very nice Colin.
I like the sheen of the neck feathers, almost metallic.

Title?
I can't dance.

Would go nicely with a ballet student one I have somewhere.


Cheers,
