Great find and capture,Brian!
My only prior experience with this species was in a wildlife park. This was way better.
Excellent find.
A perfect subject
Great display of the varied colours.
Nice pose
Thanks. Next one(s) will hopefully be on the ground
Excellent freeze and great to see the species. Well done!
Just stunning all around!
Nice to see this different angle. Great job!
It is useful.
It tells a lot about the species
Great find,Chris!
Fantastic find and shot Chris .
Fantastic capture Chris .
Sorry I had missed your comments. That is appreciated – and first time with a photo (had seen before)
I checked your weather for the next week and it looks warm enough. Some insects may be flying but it will likely have more luck on the ground.
Thanks a lot. A very plain bird, but the surrounding excitement more than made up for it. It was interesting to see this species’ habits
Thanks Brian…Happy New Year.
Yes I’m hoping despite the chill with the fog, and near 0C temps, that it can find enough food. I’ll have to look up more on this species, which is now included in the latest National Geographic guide. It has been very active, spending lots of time on the ground…which always scares me. Fortunately no cats around yesterday, but lots of leashed dogs.
Excellent find, well captured.
So beautiful!
